Orbi Connection Drops Once A Day
Hi I didnt see my exact model listed, its: Orbi Tri-band Whole Home Mesh WiFi System with 3Gbps Speed (RBK50) {downstairs} in addition to NETGEAR Orbi Ultra-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi Sat...
It would be useful to know if the event is predictable. For example, on the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, click on the blue box labelled "Connection Status." It will show when the DHCP lease is due to expire. I would set a timer on my smartphone to alert me a few minutes before the lease is due to expire and "see what happens." This idea is, of course, ridiculous, but then dropping the connection every day is also ridiculous.
Can i do what you suggested through the Orbi app on my phone? Or is it something i need to do on their website/on my desktop?
Ill try now - thanks much for your help.
On using a web browser. The "app" is limited in what it can do.
Sorry.
Sorry to sound like a newbie but how do i access the Orbi web interface?

Use any web browser to open the page http://orbilogin.net (or by the IP address of the Orbi router, usually 192.168.1.1).
The user name is always "admin". When the Orbi came "out of the box", the password was "password", but may have been changed during setup. It is not the WiFi password.
Here were my results:
Lease Obtained 0 Days, 1 Hours, 0 Minutes Lease Expires 0 Days, 0 Hours, 56 Minutes
