Continual internet/satellite/router disconnect
Totally different locations, different service providers, different devices connected, one on v11 and one on the v12 and basically it’s just a half baked product that does not have a stable firmware. No one seems to know what the problem is. Am totally disappointed and I will never consider another netgear product ever.

Re: Continual internet/satellite/router disconnect
I use router mode with the latest v2.0.xx firmware which you can download from here :
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/OrbiOS-2-0-availability/m-p/1368730#M13446
It fixed many users issues with stability so certainly worth a shot.

Yes. For the AP mode, there are no other wireless router switched on other then my neighbours....

I also meant to ask, did you ensure wireless was turned off on the original cable modem? Sometimes the dual signal can cause issues.

Frankly, it's a mystery to me why some people have so much trouble, and others find it much more stable. For me it has been rock solid except for one issue which I'll get to later.
I would recommend you upgrade to 2.0 firmware, reset to default settings and then change only the things you need to, don't turn off beamforming and other enhancements.
Also I would recommend turn off UPnP as that caused me some issues with one of my devices on the network causing dropouts to the internet for other devices. I don't know if 2.0 fixes this, but I don't care as I don't really need UPnP for now.
I've been running first on 1.12 and now for 2.0 for several weeks without a single drop. And I use some sensative applications that would notice a disconnect however brief.
