Internet Connection Drops - Re-Enabled by Testing or Renewing Ip

Thank you - I've set the config per your recommendation and will post an update later.

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

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):

What's the impact of continuing to reduce the lease time (although failing after nine minutes seems really short)?

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.
