Same here. Mine was stable again for about a week and then started disconnecting at least daily and sometimes several times a day.

As soon as I get back from my trip I'm swapping it out for a TP link mesh system. I've used Netgear solidly for years but I can't trust this router any further. I can't believe they don't provide product support past 90 days.

      I'm using a spectrum modem E31T2V1.
      The Orbi is using the latest firmware version 4.2.0.122. I also tried going back to the previous firmware version as mentioned in the other discussion but that did not resolve the problem.

        What is the CAT# cable in between the SXR and ISP Modem? CAT6 is recommended. 

        Does the front LED turn on PINK when the SXR seems to stop working?
