ORBI RBR20 dropping internet
I have been having a lot of trouble wth my Orbi dropping the internet connectiion. The wifi signal is fine.
I have change the wireless settings and reduced the transmission power, talked to teh techs on line and from what I can see this is a common problem with no common solution.
This thread seems to shine some light https://windsorwebdeveloper.com/making-netgear-orbi-great-again/ but suggests changing SSIDs on the Router and Satellite so they different from one another. I have a Mac High Sierra and cannot figure out how to access the SSID for the 2.4 and 5 GHZ separately. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I reset the ORBI and it seems to be working better. I have mnot touched any settings and left teh advanced Wireless settings as shown below

When you say dropping internet, have you isolated it to the Orbi, or could it be problems with the ISP modem/router. I would check to see if you are getting rock solid internet through the ISP modem/router, check the network cable connecting your Orbi router to the ISP modem. Then if the problem still exists, I would reboot the system, check your settings, and if all else fails, reset the system and re-install.
