Assigned a Static IP - now dropping access daily
Our Orbi RBR50 was working great. However, I needed a static IP address for work. Once I got the settings from the ISP, I updated the settings with the app. Having done that, now the router loses...

When you talked to the ISP, did they say
(a) you are required to set up your router with a "static IP". (That's the only way it will work) Or
(b) your router can continue to use DHCP and they simply guarantee to give you the same IP every time.
I am too cheap to pay for a static IP, so I'd really like to hear what they tell you.
I get a static IP from my ISP. While my ORBI is in AP mode, there is nothing special I set on my router, it just gets the static IP from my ISP. I have CenturyLink DSL. Your ISP modem/router setup may be different.
Is your personal router set for Dynamic IP addressing on the WAN port while your ISP gives you a Static IP address?

Dynamic. However, my ISP always gives me the same IP.
What I'm hoping that the OP can do as well.
