RBR40 - frequently lost connection - over payed routers?

Question

Hi,I've been having the same problem for months now. I'm using radio internet access and then use my Orbis inhouse. RBR40 and 1 satellite. The problem is that frequently I'm losing internet connection for usually up to 5 minutes, sometimes longer. I don't have full wifi coverage so I limited the case to LAN connection and it still exists. Below some records from my recent Network Logger.&nbsp;Today technician from my Internet provider came and changed my Orbis for the test for simplest (and much cheaper) TP-Link router. Five hours have passed without any outages.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, I should be happy but I'm annoyed, especially if it proves that my Orbis were making the whole mess. My satellite is not working but Internet is stable now.&nbsp;Are there any immanent problems with Orbis, that you are aware of, that can be causing this situation?&nbsp;&nbsp;Cheers,Alex&nbsp;&nbsp;Jul 09 20:07:18 PMConnection Outage Detected&nbsp;Jul 09 17:57:14 PMNetwork Up.

Which network logger are you using?Is it periodically checking for connection to an external resource?

It does such test every 30 seconds or so. Logistics provider was checking logs at their side and didn't record any problems. They even built some extra mast on my roof because assumption was that leaves are causing the problem.&nbsp;

Sometime even a couple times an hour, sometimes 2-3 hours w/o interruptions. I even encounter problems at night - regularly Netflix is not working around 10-11 P.M.&nbsp;No idea if it overlaps with lease period and alike. The basic TP-Link is still on for over 5 hours and no problems recorded. That's something really new to me :)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
