Orbi regular FTTC internet drop outs
Regular internet drop outs. Comes right after a while eg 5 minutes, or if I restart the power to the NBN box and router. No logged outages at Aussie Broadband when they put a trace on. All lights ok...
Is the ISP modem in router mode or modem only mode?
This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
Can the ISP router be removed?
Try the Orbi in AP mode with the ISP router.
- FTTC NBN box is directly connected to ORBI, no ISP Modem/Router in between.
Any other ideas?

Is there any reason why you are keeping its details a secret?
If you don't want to answer questions, then just search this community for stuff on NBN. It is a constant theme. Someone has probably been down the same road already.
Search - NETGEAR Communities – NBN FTTC box

- To the previous reply, thanks for being sarcastic.
I was asked earlier to configure the ISP providers modem (Aussie Broadband). They did not provide a modem and hence I said my Oribi is connected to the FTTC box. This box has no wifi and is not configurable by me and is used by and ISP I would use.
But hey, thanks again for being sarcastic.
