What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the router is connected too?
zyxel hla 3000 (Frontier FiOS)
The zyxel HLA3000 is (i believe, I don't have one) and ethernet coax bridge device. What router/modem is connected to the other end of it?
Please try reducing the lease request time and see if that will give you an improvement:
- From browser go to the router's debug page (http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm). Use your router's IP address or http://orbilogin.com/debug.htm
- Enter admin as user name and your router’s management password
- Tick "Enable Telnet" option
- Use Telnet from a computer attached to Orbi to connect to your Router telnet 192.168.1.1 and enter admin and the same password as above
- Enter the following commands:
- root@RBR50:/# config get wan_lease — Should give you --> 86400which means 24 hours
- root@RBR50:/# config set wan_lease=1800
- root@RBR50:/# config commit
Thank you - I've set the config per your recommendation and will post an update later.

Ok, internet just dropped again - seems to be an improvement though - that's over 24 hours w/o having to manually renew the IP. When I went to renew the IP, the lease was only nine minutes old (according to the Connection Status screen):
Lease Obtained 0 Days, 0 Hours, 30 Minutes Lease Expires 0 Days, 0 Hours, 21 Minutes What's the impact of continuing to reduce the lease time (although failing after nine minutes seems really short)?

Yes, I think you should try further reducing the time.
Currently I'm using the value 750 in my Orbi and that is giving me good performance.
You can even try 500 directly.
I'm unable to telnet into my Orbi. I get an error message when I try. Any other way to accomplish this? I have an RBR40.
Thanks for the reply - that zyxel hardware is connected via coax to an ONT (Optical Network Terminal?) which appears to be an Arris ONT1000-PS1-2G-SFU, Rev A, FW Rev B.
