ORBI RBR850 -- frequent disconnects to WoW server
Suddenly for no reason, since this morning, every 15-30 minutes my connection with WoW (World of Warcraft game) drops. I get disconnected but can quickly reconnect within the minute. For context, my ...
I had the same issue with Destiny 2, both on PC and PS4. I even happen to have a spare RBR850 router and tried swapping it out and still had the same issue. It seems to be a firmware issue which coincidentally installed last night.

Anyone confirm that if we put the Orbi AX to AP mode and use either cable router or previous router?
Yes, this should work, but did not try that yet.

- Yes it works, I put my Orbi in AP with 3.2.10.11 firmware and hooked it up to my older Asus Router and now I have whole home high speed internet as before and haven’t seen any drops for about 6 days now.
Even I have got lot issues while playing nba online.
Anyways I connected my RBR850 ( in router mode) to my modem and did a downgrade from V3.2.10.11 to V3.2.9.2 along with factory reset. It's been a week and no issues with my nba game or IoT device disconnections. Haven't tested with WoW.
