Orbi drops wireless when computer comes out of sleep
I've recently started having issues with my Orbi RBR50 and I'm at a loss at how to diagnose it. Basically when my computer comes out of sleep, internet stops working until it corrects itself aft...
I have the exact same problem. I wake up in the morning, wake my PC, but it takes a few minutes for my PC to connect up to the internet. I just installed the Orbi system, my PC is hardwired.
A bit of annoyance, nice if there was a simple fix
Be sure to disable any power management features that Windows has enabled on the ethernet adapter.
Be sure the ethernet adapter drivers are up to date.
Be sure your using good quality LAN cable. CAT6 is recommended.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem, it always take a few minutes for my laptop to get connected to internet.
However- I'm sure it's the router (RBR50) since this problem does not exist when I'm at another location (e.g my boyfriends house). I've tried with two different laptops (my own and a laptop from work (with a totally different configuration)) and it's the same = whenever the laptops are at my house and been in sleep mode, it takes 2-5 minutes before they can access internet after waking up. As stated, this does not happen anywhere else, and it wasn't like this before (on either laptop..). I can't rememeber when this started, maybe like a year ago or so?
And yes everything is up to date.
Hello Sthlm,
I understand you are having connectivity issues with the RBR50.
Which Firmware version is your Orbi currently on?
I look forward to your response!
Best,
Kevin
