ORBI MESH RBK23 drops WLAN a/n/ac consistently
I'm noticiing that my TXPkts drops down to zero consistantly. I'd say at least once every 30 seconds, the Transmitting packet shows that it drops to 0. Comes back up immediately, then drops to zero ~...

Your modem has a built in router and wifi already. Is the modem bridged? It can be and is recommended to be bridged if your going to use a Orbi system with it.

How do I find out if it's bridged?

Review the user manual for the C series modem. There will be a router mode or NAT mode feature somewhere in the modems UI. Use a web browser and navigate to 192.168.0.1.

Just reset the Cable modem. Put it into Bridge mode.
Still having dropped connections.It's just on the WLAN a/n/ac.
looks like it's transmitting data, then...30 seconds later, the TxPkts drop to zero, and resets.
