Oribi RBR20 loses connection on a daily basis
Almost every single day I lose internet connection with this router. I call my internet company and it shows no inturruptions on internet and they suggest to me that it could be the 3rd party router. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I also have one ethernet cable connected to the router going straight to my gaming PC. On another forum I was reading they suggested intel commands, but every time I try something like they suggest the commands are invalid. Any help would be appreciated.
