    Are you on the latest firmware 1.4.0.34? I know I had people report of these issues on the .18 firmware.

      Many of us are facing same issue and is mentioned in many threads.  I have been able to mitigate this to an extent by rolling back to 1.4.0.16 with a factory reset. PLEASE bring this to Engineering attention this same issue started in 1.4.0.18 and persist in 1.4.0.34 as well along with random drops in wifi, some are patiently waiting new Firmware while others have given up to try competitors products sadly, Orbi is a very powerful machine just needs a stable Firmware.
