Orbi RBR50 intermittently dropping internet connection
Hello, I am having issues with my RBR50 intermittently dropping our internet connection. It seems the router might be restarting at what seem like random times causing a WiFi disruption. I've looked...
I havn't yet had a chance to factory reset and re-setup the RBR50, but something happpened last night that could provide some insight.
I was playing Xbox (which is hardwired to the RBR50) and the internet connection dropped/I was disconnected. The RBR50 LEDs then went to solid white, stayed solidly lit for a bit, then went to pulsing white. The connection was then reestablished.
Does the fact that a hardwired peripheral lost connection and the LED info/behavior provide any clues?

The Orbi log may contain a clue if there is an entry at the time of this event.

It looks like the log was deleted again after the RBR rebooted.
I do see A LOT of "attacks" logged. I've seen this in the past, googled it, and found that it seems to mostly be the RBR miscatagorizing pings, but I've always been a bit uncomfortable about this. Previously the IP addressess were from Amazon. Attacks catagorized as the following:
[DoS Attack: TCP/UDP Chargen]
[DoS Attack: SYN/ACK Scan]
[DoS Attack: RST Scan]
[DoS Attack: ACK Scan]
