Circle causing Intermittent outages on Orbi

Question

I have finally narrowed it down to Circle on my Orbi RBR50. Everytime I turn it on I get about 15 minutes of sparadic outages about 4 times a day. Once I turn it off. Everything runs smoothly.

Any idea on how to fix this?

There are multiple threads about this. I am posting here as per Furry's guidance.

+1, loosing connection to Fios via ONT, at DHCP renewal. Orbi worked great until recently when we enabled Circle, and since then have intermittent outages. Had to reboot ONT or Router to fix it. Anyways, I have disabled my Circle (went to OpenDNS for now, less granular but still something). Hoping NG will fix this issue because we found Circle very helpful.
