Orbi new system gets random disconnections and random decrease

I just bought the Orbi WiFi home system, I am upgrading from a Netgear R6300. I have four days with my Orbi and I am having issues with random disconnection and random speed decrease. I followed videos from Netgear on how to set it up and the guide that came with it. I even updated the firmware as soon as I was setting it up. I love the Orbi when it properly works,  the speed amazing  and the coverage it gives is really good. However, as I mentioned before, I am experiencing disconnection from the internet and the speed decreases here and there.  Is anyone experiencing any random disconnections or random decrease? I live in a 1414 SQFT house.

Model: Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System (RBK50)

Hello Phis213

 

Have you disabled MUMIMO and beamforming?

Mine are disabled, would it help to enable them?

Hello SSuffolk

 

If they are both disabled you can also try another fix by going to Advanced-Advanced setup- wireless settings and turn down the power level of the 2.4ghz network this has worked for some people. We are working on a fix for these issues in a future firmware.

How do you turn down the power level?

Log into your orbi at orbilogin.com then go to Advanced-Advanced Setup-Wireless settings and you will see a drop down that says 100% lower that setting.
