This is my experience as well. The Orbi web interface definitely has an activity timer. I have not spent any time investigating, but my impression is that some parts of the web interface "time out" more quickly than others. (The Attached Devices page, for example, seems to pop up the login box more quickly than other pages.) This behavior is especially irritating to me because I often have another tab open in the web browser where I am typing a response to a post on the forum and the login box just pops up while I am typing -- and I type over the contents of the damn box and have to clear out and reenter everything.)
Because my Orbi web password is long and complicated, my work around is to have the web browser remember the Orbi login. That way, when the login box pops up, "admin" and the password are already filled in, so I just hit the Enter key.
Is this "secure"? Probably not. The alternative is constant irritation.
