Orbi RBR50 Dropping Internet Connection Regularly
I have an Orbi RBR50 and RBS50 connected via wireless backhaul. They have been working perfectly for a year. For the past two weeks, the router has been dropping the Internet connection regularly, ...
Disable ethernet adapter in the network adapter properties and that should stop your wifi from dropping out. I know it sounds like something that you shouldn't do, but that is the only fix for this issue I have found.
Sorry for the delayed response. I started having the same issue with it again the very next day and I wanted to have a fix before I responded. If you go into the router from a web browser (app wont work for this) than advanced setup, and select wifi settings and at the bottom make sure "Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices" is unchecked. As soon as I did that everything connects and does not drop out anymore. Hopefully it helps you as it completely has fixed my connection issues.
Beamforning is a feature that is recommended to be enabled. It works for others including me.
Had a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
