Internet dropping on Orbi V2.0.0.72
V2.0.0.72 was fine initally, but I'm not overly impressed with how it handles dropping internet. I suspect my ISP supplied router is periodically (and far too frequently) dropping it's connection for...
Why would you use your ISP's supplied router when you have the Orbi? if I was you I would just disable Wi-Fi on it and run the Orbi as the router, I suspect you have a Router/Modem combo from your ISP, just disable the router part.
Also you have tried updating to V2.0.0.74 on your Orbi? .72 is no longer the latest.
Ah, the important bit that I missed.. Am using Orbi as my AP, the Cable modem is just the gateway with Wifi disabled - my suspicion is that this is dropping the internet and Orbi has been struggling to handle this.
I've installed .74 this afternoon, so seeing if that makes things more stable.
