Orbi RBR50 constantly dropping internet
Had this problem months ago. WIth help from this forum, it was working but suddenly is contantly rebooting again. Size of home roughly 2500 sq ft. Distance 20+ feet not counting elevation betwee...
So, knock on wood it's been up since I posted. It lost connectivity and rebooted within 5 minutes after the hard reset and changing the default settings and I posted immediately after it came up. It's been up since.
FWIW, when it was failing it felt like it lost internet, recycled a few times and then the wireless would go away too. Both wired and wireless devices were impacted.
Maybe I have an older version of the GUI by the lease data I see is:
Lease Obtained 1 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes Lease Expires 0 Days, 12 Hours, 35 Minutes
Thanks!

This is normal. To prevent excessive network traffic, most stable networks hand out DHCP leases for one day. I believe the standard is for a device to 'renew' the lease when it is 50% expired. So, I would not be surprised to hear that not very long after seeing 12 hours left, you would suddenly see 23 hours.
