RBK50 Dropping Internet
Hi folks, I wonder if someone could help. I recently purchased an Orbi mesh router system. Since I've purchased it I've had nothing but trouble. How much of the trouble is down to the router and ...
Let us know how it goes. Seems like this could be a ISP issue.
Just to add the router is at version :
Router Firmware Version
V2.7.2.104
V2.7.2.104
That version does have a bug that drops DNS when both the trafic monitor is on and the auto daylight savings change is on. Turning either or both of those off would stop that issue.

Many thanks. I'll try setting DST to off. It was on when I checked and showed my time zone as being 1 hour ahead of GMT where it should have been I.e.it was set to Amsterdam/Berlin time. Is this typical behaviour? If I set DST off do I now need to manually adjust the time zone to account for DST?
With it off it bassically just makes your router log entries an hour off. You can also manually change the time zone to correct.
Also check your traffic meter and try turning that off if it is on.
The symptom of this bug is DNS resolution starts failing at random times and internet access appears to be lost. Some devices will keep working until they need a DNS querry. It either resolves itself after several minutes or after a router reboot.
