Yes did all the resets and FW updates. Working for everything with the feature on except the older devices. Does not change connection speeds. 1GB up/down connection. Hard wired meets requirements, pulls close to 300MB down on wifi in most locations.

For the benefit of others, what older devices nd how many of each do you have in your home network?

I have to chime in. I have the exact same issue that started about 45 days ago.rebooting is the only way to fix it. I connect to fios directly so no modem.

So it isn't just the old firmware

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?

Does modem have a built in router? If so, This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly. Then use the Orbi router in router mode.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
