Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.

How many RBS are deployed?

Are the RBS wireless or ethernet connected to the RBR?
Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
Please post a screen capture of the RBR debug page found at RBR IP address/debug.htm in your next post please.
Everything is running 7.2.6.21 firmware.
I do not use a modem as I have a fiber connection to the house, so the Fiber connects to a Juniper 12000, and that connects to a Mikrotik CCR (Cloud Core Router).
I have 4 RBS's and they are all about 45' from the router itself and many walls and in some cases floors between them.
This isn't a case of it not working at all, this is a case of everything working perfectly, and then it will simply stop working, and then 2-5 minutes later usually it will just start working again (sometimes takes 10 min).
What is the model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Is there WiFi build in with this router here?

Again I do not have a modem, this is a fiber connection to a Juniper 12000 and a CCR 1009 router. There is no wifi from the CCR. The Orbi provides the wifi for the house. The house is 3500 square feet but also have positioned the RBS devices to provide wifi coverage for the yard.... focused on various sides of the house to get coverage in the yard.
The RBS are using wireless backhaul to connect to the RBR.
If the RBS are not connected then I wouldn't know if it happens as there is not enough coverage from the RBR by itself to see if the devices start failing.
