I have a RBR50 updated to latest firmware (2.5.0.38). Prior to installing this firmware version, everything was working fine. After installing this firmware, my Orbi is now randomly not responding to any network requests, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes for a few minutes. This is the only Orbi device on the network; I have no other routers or APs (but I do have some "dumb" switches connected in a star topology).

This was probably overkill, but I went back to 2.2.1.212, did a factory reset on that firmware, upgraded to 2.3.0.32, changed all my settings to where I wanted them one by one while checking wireless speed at every step (it dropped each time!), then upgraded directly to 2.5.0.38. I do not experience the long connection drops I used to, but the wireless does still drop for about a couple seconds from time to time.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? Do you have a RBS or is this just the RBR only?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz. Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Is Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM enabled. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Is 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Glad to hear it's better!
Bummer to hear that you spent so much time on it.
Also bummer to hear that wireless still drops.
The last week has been quite maddening for my wife and I. Like many other community members posting in the last week, we went from a flawless pre-2.5.0.38 experience to constant connection dropping and slowness. About 12 hours ago I finally did the downgrade to v2.3.5.30. First the Satellite ... then waited to see if that by itself made a difference. Nope. Still dropping completely off the network. So I went ahead and did the RBR as well.
Since then I'm back to the way things have been for years -- i.e., my laptop hasn't dropped off the wifi a single time.

The house I am in is an 1100 sq ft split-level. I am only running the RBR50 on this setup, no RBS. (The RBS that came in the RBK I purchased was moved to join another RBK setup somewhere else.)
I am on manual channel 11 for 2.4GHz and channel 48 for 5GHz. Plenty of neighboring WiFi nearby; 11 is the cleanest option on 2.4 (I haven't checked 5GHz). MU-MIMO and Beamforming are off, WMM and 20/40 Coexistence are on.
