Unfortunately I'm still having the problem. I should clarify that my actual problem is the reverse of the one in the subject line on this thread. I lose connection to the wifi on most of my computers but seem to keep it on my phones. This is still happening three times a day: before 6AM, ~7PM, ~10PM

Did you go into the NTP setting and change the DST? Also have you checked and see if there is a new firmware to update?

No firmware update and I did change the NTP.

I made the NTP change 2 days ago ...with some noticable success - only 1 reboot needed to resolve the connectivity issue. As of 2 days ago, I was running the most recent firmware.
Thanks for the reply ... here is hoping the next update eliminates the problem fully.

Since posting my last response 5 days ago, we have still had to complete at least daily restarts to our Orbi, as the problem has persisted for us.
This morning I received an email from Netgear that un updated firmware was available --- however, when I attempt to check it via the admin console, I am told there are no updates available. Still running firmware version V2.6.2.104 on both the router and the satellite. Has anybody else received this notice, and seen an update?
