I'VE JUST ABOUT HAD IT....
I've had the RBK40 for about 10 days and have yet to go 24 hours without problems. Constant disconnects. I've reset to factory default 3 times. I've updated to the newest firmware. Power cycled. ...
ISP>Modem (wireless mode turned off)>Orbi (in regular "router" mode, not AP as I mistakenly indicated earlier)>Devices
This is how I've always set things up. I made no changes from my prior set up.
Is there a router built into the ISP modem or is the modem just a modem?

For the tenth time....I disabled the router function on the modem!!!! It has been disabled since the day I got it and I had zero problems with the other routers I've used. If there are any other "special" changes I need to make in the modem...forget it. If I have to do that, then I'm not going to waste my time. I shouldn't have to do this to make the Orbi work.
No disrespect....but asking me the same questions over and over is not helping. I really do appreciate the suggestions. I will try the ones mentioned above (changing the channels, etc...and I might even just take out the satellite as long as the base unit reaches the other end of my house).
Let us know if any of the suggestions work.
