Orbi CONSTANT Restarts, Disconnects, ETC
I have an RBR50 + 3x RBS50 pretty large home. When this system works.....it works fantastic full speed everywhere. I have been fighting this damn thing for 6 months now. I have exhausted every option...
WHat would that have to do with the RBR50 disconnection from internet and losing connection? Restarting 4-5 times a day
And my Modem is working fine always UP even when RBR disconnects and has to restart
The router maybe encoutering some wifi interferences. Thus attempting to reboot and scan for better channels.
You can test this out by disabling the wifi radios on the router entirely, then use a wired PC(s) connected to the back of the router and see if the disconnections still happen. If so, then there is a problem with the router or a problem between the router and the modem. Just be cause the modem is always UP doesn't mean the data between the modem and router isn't working right. Thought I tend to think this is more of a wireless issue than a modem issue at this time.
Might check your logs to see if there is any entries when this happens on the router.
Try my suggestions mentioned previously...
How many and what channels are they using? I presume some are spread accross 1, 6 and 11?
How many on each channel.

Could SONOS be the issue?
Anything is possible. Especially if it has it's own wifi broadcast...Turn OFF all wireless devices if you think any of them could be a problem and see how the system work. Then graduate turning them on, one at a time. Roku's and some cameras have there own wifi.

Sonos can cause several issues if not configured properly. You need to either:
1) Unplug all Sonos devices from Ethernet and connect Sonos using WiFi, or
2) Plug one, and only one, Sonos device into Ethernet, and manually set Sonos and Orbi to use non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channels. Set Sonos to use channel 1 and Orbi to use channel 11, or vice versa.
Also, be sure to separate Orbi and Sonos devices by a few feet--do not place them right next to each other.
Lastly, Sonos can cause managed switches using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to block ports on the switch, unless the STP priorities in the switches are set properly.
I dont have any of my sonos units hardwired. All setup over wifi. I do have one of the speakers very close to one of sats
Should i connect one and run via sonosnet?

I run mine using Sonosnet. You could try Sonosnet, but I doubt Sonos is causing issues if you are running Sonos via WiFi
