Hi,
We have a cable ISP so the Orbi is connected to the cable modem. I have to check but i am using the SSID for the Orbi.
Just to provide a bit more clarity, when I get home the Orbi Wifi tab will have a ☑️ Next to it but when I go to browse, the browser will say, “you are not connected to the internet.” I have to turn wifi completely off on my device, then cut it back on and the Orbi will work after about 5 seconds.
How can it automatically connect and work without toggling the button on and off? Thank you

Wondering if you are trying to connect to your previous wireless somehow. Did you turn off the wireless function from your other router?
- Yes. The previous router was an apple airport. The issue is with the Orbi.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem?
Do any other devices experience this after leaving the house area and coming back?
What is the device Mfr and model# your using that sees this issue?
You might try disabling Beamforming and MIMO and see if this helps any for when you leave and return home.
