What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem?
Do any other devices experience this after leaving the house area and coming back?

- When I arrive in my apt, the WiFi will say that I am connected to Orbi, but I am not connecting to the internet unless I toggle the wifi buttons off, then turn it back on. This is regardless of whether I am using my iphone, ipad or laptop.
I should not have to turn the wifi off on my device, then turn it back on to connect. How do I maintain constant connectivity without having to restart the device?
- The Issue is not with the other modom as I would need a password to connect to it. Even though I see that modem as an option for connection I have never used that wireless connection.
There is no reason why I would be connected to the ISP modem, the issue is with the Orbi.Just wanna make sure that the ISP modem, if it has a router and wireless built in, that those features are disabled and the modem is bridged. Haivng a router and wifi built in and enabled with the Orbi router can cause problems. Just to check with you to make sure what this modem is is all.
