I seem to have fixed my problems with my RBK50 and my Samsung S8+. I followed the instructions I saw on another post to solve the problem. Step 1 was to update Router and Satellite firmware to latest version (1.12.0.18) from the Netgear Orbi site https://netgear.com/support/product/RBK50.aspx#download . Then I factory reset both the router and sattellite by inserting a pin into the reset button on each unit. Then I used the app to set up the system as a new installation. This has solved my problems so far (48 hours of heavy usage). Best of luck to everyone else.
