I would fire up a speed test app and would show no internet. However if I opened the Orbi app and waited a couple of seconds it would show the router as been online and hey presto my phone would spring to life. I've about 20 other devices etc connected and all would stay connected without problem. Recently then I installed the app on my wife's iPhone as she wanted some control over kids access when I'm not around and straight away she started getting the same issue and the same fix would work for her. As you can imagine I'm getting it square on in the ear about how her internet keeps dropping and not good enough. All the usual things been done etc and still the same. Any ideas clever people?
- Latest firmware installed last week. No ISP router as have FIber to the home which works directly with Orbi. Getting class speed but this just bugging a bit. Gonna try uninstalling the app as suggested above.
After checking the app. Try a factory reset on the RBR and setup from scratch as well.
