Perhaps a little more information would help.

  • Does the desktop remain "on" and "connected" 24/7?
    (I ask because my desktops are never turned off and only rebooted when software updates force a restart.)
  • Is the Orbi WiFi connection set to "Connect Automatically"?
  • Does the Orbi WiFi connection "disappear" while being used?
    (i.e. not trying to connect, but after connected?)
  • Is the WiFi capability "built in" or an "add on adapter"?

Thanks
