Orbi and Nest Outdoor Camera issues
I just install the ORBI mesh system and although the speed is fantasic, my two Nest outdoor camera seems to be losing signal(disconnecting) several times a day. Over 10 minutes sometimes. This happen...
I am going to try and toggle those settings one at a time when I get home. I never had any issues with my old Apple Airport.
Neither MU-MIMO or implicit beamforming are enabled. I am running 2.0.0.74.

It may not make a difference, but try toggling them on (just to see if it improves things for you). You might also try changing the 2.4Ghz channel to a different one of [1, 6, 11]. Again, none of these should cause you issues but we're searching for something in your environment that's causing the disconnects.
When I enabled both of them my throughput went down to ~67Mbps. I turned them both back off. I am still having it go offline so maybe I need to move the Orbi closer? I tested the throughput with my phone right next to the camera and it was close to 200Mbps. I would think that is sufficient.
Enabling these features should not affect your throughput significantly. Others report better throughput with the features enabled. Immediately after changing the settings your Orbi rebooted and then your phone/device may have connected via 2.4Ghz vs. 5Ghz. Give it a chance to run for a while with the settings changed, just to see if it alters your disconnects. You can always change them back in a day or two. I'm guessing, but your disconnects are caused by something else in your environment and not due to throughput.
