Orbi RBR50 dropping internet connection constantly
Hello,
On July 4th I purchased my Orbi router on a recommendation from a friend. I previously tried a Linksys AC1900 and it consistently dropped my internet connection (Charter Spectrum). I took ...
Correct, it is Modem mode. My guessing goes in a similar direction, as the Orbi in AP mode shows no weakness, neither in WLAN nor in LAN connections, hence somehow the flaw lies in the connection between the modem and Orbi. I tried already once your proposed approach, but did not succeed, I will give it again a try. In my current setup the UPC box has the address 192.168.1.1 and the Orbi 192.168.1.2 on the LAN side, and a 84.x.x.x. address, which it got from the UPC on the internet side. Just to be sure, as in the UPC box I have to enter an IP address in the DMZ settings. would that be the 192. address or the 84. address?

Just to be sure, those addresses are the ones you see in the UPC box, right?
The Orbi address for the DMZ forwarding would be 192.168.1.2 in this case.
