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.
Here were my results:
| Lease Obtained | 0 Days, 1 Hours, 0 Minutes |
| Lease Expires | 0 Days, 0 Hours, 56 Minutes |
