Orbi RBK852 Disconnects Every Few Minutes [Extensive Diagnostic Thread]

I'll now try and plug the RBS back in and turn the RBR power down to 50% and update here when I have results. That being said, if your theory is interference problems between the router and base station, it's concerning that the version with no RBS still shows the intermittent drops.
