Not many. This is a replacement for a cheapo router I had before. Little did I know the cheapo was rock solid!
One more thing, there's no seeming issues on the wifi side of the router. It's the connection being dropped from router to modem. I can access the 192.168.1.1 on the router from all devices but can't get to the modem 192.16.0.x during an outage.

- I suspect the "192.16" is a typo, which should read "192.168", correct?
This indicates that FURRYe38 is correct and you have "two routers".
The most obvious way to address this issue is to place the Orbi in Access Point (AP) mode, using the Orbi web interface.
On the Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings, Router/AP mode. - Before doing anything, can you please humor an "Old Guy" and report the times from the Advanced Tab Home Page, click on "Connection Status" in the Internet Port box.
What does it show for Lease Obtained and Lease Expires?
Thanks
