Orbi 960 disconnects
Having issues with my Orbi 960. Disconnects at least once a day and have to unplug and plug back in to work again. Tried factory restore many times and still same issue. Internet provider confirmed everything to be good in their side. Firmware is 7.2.6.21. Any beta firmware or recommendations.

Does the front LED turn on RED when this happens?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Just took my 960 off line since being up for weeks. Have never seen this issue on v7 FW. Went thru extensive testing. Not all issues are FW released FYI.
