Hello&nbsp;I have been using orbi RBK53 over 8 moths and I am satisfied with my experience.Recintly I am facing in issue with the internet, it keeps disconnecting and shows that there is no internet connected to the device. But, I am sure that the internet is working properly and I have tested it several times.How do I solve this issue?My guess that the formware has some issues and caused this problem!Thanks

What modem are you connected to?&nbsp;What firmware is on it?&nbsp;Does it happen to all devices? Wired devices? only wireless devices? only devices connected to a certain satellite?How frequently is it happening?What speeds do you pay for?What speeds do you get hardwired into the router?

Your modem/ONT already has a built in router and wifi:https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1000099317This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAThttps://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NATCouple 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&amp;app=desktopmohammed997&nbsp;wrote:What modem are you connected to?&nbsp;Huawei&nbsp;HG8245QWhat firmware is on it?&nbsp;the latest oneDoes it happen to all devices?

i checked the firmware version it was&nbsp;2.5.1.8, so I have updated to to the last version&nbsp;2.5.1.16 by doing it manually. I will test if the problem goes away or not.
