ORBI CBR750 drops wifi and ISP connection.
My ORBI just stops routing and drops wifi about twice a week. The only solution is to remove power and reboot it. I have only had router about 2 months and it just started this about 3 weeks ago. I am on latest firmware. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

https://kb.netgear.com/30008/How-do-I-view-or-clear-the-event-logs-on-my-NETGEAR-cable-modem-or-modem-routerHave the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
Start with removing any amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters from the coax.
From there check the line for kinks, damage, moisture in the line.
Check the connectors for improperly made ends, foil touching the copper coax line, loose connections, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

Sorry got the wrong log file. I think this is what you wanted.
Power levels are a bit too high.
You have Criticals and Warnings in the event log that the ISP needs to review and resolve.
