I am having the exact same issue since upgrading to V3.2.15.25_1.3.15. My system was working fine before the upgrade and in the last 2 weeks 1 of my RBS850's is also disconnecting randomly. I have a feeling this is a firmware problem with V3.2.15.25_1.3.15

Firmware Update Process: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/RBR50-RBS50-Firmware-2-5-1-16-Update/m-p/1901692/highlight/true#M90127
First manually download the RBS and RBR FW files from here.http://kb.netgear.com/en_US/000061838/
Unpack the FW from the .zip files.
Use a wired PC for this process. Safari(Mac), IE11(Windows), Firefox or Opera browsers are recommended.
Log into the RBSs web page and send the FW file there first.
Then send the RBR FW file lastly.
Factory reset the RBS and RBR and setup from scratch. After makeing sure the system works after setting up, be sure to make a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. This saves time if a reset is needed again.
