RBR20 Losing internet connection about 1-2 times / day
Until recently router has been very stable, for about the last 1.5 weeks I lose (only) the internet connection from the router. Can still connect fine to the router from devices, but all devices repo...

Not yet. There's been no change on the ISP end or with the modem that the Orbi is attacehd to. It's not base or satellite location; again, those have never changed, are > 30 feet apart, and when connected, they flash blue. House is 2,300 square feet, base on floor 1, satellites on floor 2 and in basement. No new networks in the neighborhood, that I can see.
Have cycled everything off completely many times. Still having to reboot most days. I don't recall this happing before the 2.7.3.22 firmware upgrade, but not about that.

That happens when you turn OFF one RBS? Or both? Does the RBR continue to loose the internet connection?
2300sq ft maybe too small of a home size for two RBS.

It hasn't been a problem in over 2 years of running 2 base stations - the house is from the 1930s and its construction is such that running with a single satellite was not adequate once we remodeled the basement and turned it into additional living space.

Id do a full factory reset and setup from scratch on the RBS and RBR. If this doesn't resolve this, revert back to prior working version...
