Your experience with Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
The other long thread on the new firmware is useless and has become a tech support thread. Please only post your experience after upgrading to the new firmware, good or bad. I'd like to see everyone'...
Try a factory reset on the system. if this fails,
Try a Manual FW load:

Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
What WPA security modes are you using? Try using WPA2 and AES only.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.

I have a similar problem. Any solutions yet?
Update - I have been on this 2.2.1.210 firmware since October and my wifi connection has been rock solid. I work remotely often and use Citrix Workspace to connect to my virtual work desktop and have not suffered any disconnects in a long time (since getting Orbi firmware 2.2.1.210 in fact).
With one of the PRIOR recent firmwares (do not recall which one) I was having sporadic disconnect issues, but those issues stopped competely after getting 2.2.1.210.
