Orbi is totally unreliable FULL STOP. They do not even allow you to stay on a older version as the router keeps insisting to upgrade to the lastest without asking for your permission!

Update to the new firmware ( V2.1.2.18 ). Since the drops have not been reliability reproducible, I've been waiting for post an update until I've had a few weeks with it. I believe it's fixed the problem, at least for me.
Also, one of the helpful netgear support members gave me a beta version a couple month ago for testing (so shout out to them).
