This happens without you taking any action?
There is a section in the Orbi web interface, the Advanced Tab, Security, "Schedule" where the owner can set the Orbi to enforce settings on a schedule. Is there anything set in this section?

Sorry. I neglected to ask what the Orbi is connected to (exact brand and model).
If the Orbi is connected to a "router", that device most likely also has "schedule" capabilities.
Does the Orbi Log show anything in regard to the times that the internet disappears and reappears?
(web interface, Advanced Tab, Administration, Log)
- AJCCMay 26, 2020AspirantIt is connected to the modem which spectrum brought and they also brought a router which I replaced with the orbi, I did not connect the orbi directly to the interne Cable because it was a coaxial cable and the orbi doesn’t have that port, but the spectrum does

Thanks for the information. With the Spectrum modem being "only a modem", there should be no scheduling activity taking place on the modem.
Have you been able to look at the Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.com) to see if any schedule has been applied?
Is there a regular pattern when internet access "goes away" and "comes back"?
- AJCCMay 26, 2020AspirantLately like the has been a pattern, the wifi goes off during this time (11pm-12am) and I haven’t been able to look at that website due to the router being offline i have to use my data and when I click on the link I doesn’t recognize the orbi because im not connected to it. And thanks a lot for helping me out!
