Intermittent disconnects, reconnects, and hung devices - guest network?
I have seen frequent intermittent disconnects, reconnects, and hung devices. Since there doesn't appear to be orbi logging to help identify these events, I've had trouble tracking down what is happening and when. I'm starting to think these issues are only occurring for devices connected to the guest network. Aside from the observation that issues appear to be occuring on devices on the guest network, I've noticed that guest network devices get assigned ips on a different subnet. e.g. main network get n.n.1.n and guest network get n.n.2.n. Maybe this is intentional and not an issue, but previous orbis did not work this way.

Firmware is 4.6.3.7_2.0.49.
Modem is Motorola MB8611. The same issues occurred with a previous modem.
Yes, I think only the guest network is affected. It's hard to tell because I either need devices that complain when they lose their connection, or I have to be using a device on the guest network at the time when issues occur. Being able to see the events would at least help me to know what I'm dealing with. Devices that I know or suspect to have been affected include thermostats, iphones, playstation. I moved a bunch of stuff to the main network and they don't appear to be having issues any longer. One the one hand, I'm tempted to move everything off the guest network and just be done with it, but I paid for a product with guest network capability and I'd like that to work.

Hi Furry,
Yes, factory reset has been done after the latest firmware. I've seen the same issue with at least 3 versions of firmware. I also changed the main router - no improvement on the guest network.
