After trying the suggested changes by ekhalil you might want update FW on the Orbi system at some point:

Hi FURRYe38,
I have the Firmware version: V4.6.5.14 (the last version). The router is an TP-link Archer XR500v and i connected with the ethernet cable.
This looks to be cause by a long DHCP lease time set by your internet operator:
Please login to the web interface (orbilogin.com) >> Go to ADVANCED >> ADVANCED Home >> INTERNET PORT >> CONNECTION STATUS. Check there what is stated under "Lease Obtained".
I had this issue some time ago and I could solve it by changing the "WAN DHCP Lease Time" using telnet commands which is now not possible in Orbi. Fortunately I got this fixed by my internet operator.
Thanks!
The status under 'Lease Obtained' is 1 days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes. For sure I can call the provider. What they need to change exactly with the 'WAN DHCP Lease Time'?
For me it's 0 Days, 1 Hour, 0 Minutes.
It will be great if the provider can reduce this lease time as much as possible. 1 day is quite long lease time, I guess that's why you have the issue every morning!
Maybe a stupid thought. But when the lease time is expired, my internet is also off, it seems when I look at the times. Isn't it the intention to increase the lease time?
What should happen is that after half of the lease time (12 hours in your case), Orbi will ask the ISP to renew the lease. For whatever reason (disturbances, bad quality,....) the half-life renewal of the lease will get lost and Orbi will think it doesn't have an IP and will die after 12 additional hours. If you wait for another 12 hours (the next half-life renewal) your internet will probably work! 🙂
To solve this issue, for bad lines, Orbi needs to ask for renewals more frequently.
You should ask your ISP either to improve the line quality (my ISP changed the ONT module and things got better) or -as an interim solution- to reduce the lease time 🙂
