RBE 771 Random connection degradation every 30 minutes to an hour
Every half hour or so all the devices on my home network have heavy lag for around 30 seconds. This happens regardless of hardwired/wifi, and with satellites connected or not. I've tried updating the firmware a couple times since getting this router/mesh setup to no avail.
Today I tried manually updating the firmware, power cycling, then factory resetting the setup, but this issue is still occurring. I have 2Gbps fiber optic and it appears stable on their end, but this issue has persisted.

Have you owned this Orbi system for less than 90 days? (and are thus entitled to open a support case with Netgear?)
There are some very long conversations on the Forum about an issue very similar to this.

I got it in October, so it's now past 90 days. I've looked through the conversations I could find so far, thus the troubleshooting, but it's shocking how common this is and yet there's seemingly no easily available fix.
