Mine been working since I got mine back in 2019.
There maybe some settings and placement that needs to be reviewed.
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products.

Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you.

I have about 40 WiFi clients at home and at least 10 of them get disconnected every 10min and then need about the same time to reconnect. I have invested about 200h+ to try all possible settings, making changes every day, but failed to get it to work. I am now about to throw everything away, but wanted to check, if anyone had a positive experience with these products. (I am developing WiFi systems firmware professionally, so I believe I know what I am talking about).
Thank you!
