So try the modem in router mode and set the Orbi for AP mode and see how it goes.

So, im back to plain old drop outs again.
That was a full 12 hrs I suffered with this yesterday. Finished at 4am as both myself and partner are working from home we need a network connection. Took about 3 hrs for it to go back to normal, the orbi wouldnt connect, eventually it did. I'm scared if it ever has to have a reboot. Surely I can have this trouble from other 'Mesh' systems for half the cost. ?
My ISP router always had its wifi turned off, both 2.4 and 5g. There's no interference.
I'm going to stick with this for now, once things are less busy here I'll send this crap back to amazon and get something just as crap and save money.
I do appreciate the help though, thanks for that.
