RBR50 2.1.4.10 drops internet, cured by simply accessing its menu
My Orbi master disconnects from the internet every day or so. When I access its menu and enter my password, it reconnects every time. My internet is supplied by my condo, so I don't know its hardware...
Is the Orbi getting a public IP address, ##.##.###.### on it's wan port or a private IP address, something like 192, 172 or a 10.##.###.### address?
When it drops internet, can you still gain access to the Orbi's Web page? Is so, whats the status say on Basic?
Are you using the wifi at all for access from other devices?
How many other wifi neighbors are near by and what channesl are they using?
My current assigned IP is 69.59.2.26, gateway is 69.59.2.1. When I access Orbi's web page, the problem is cured and the status shows an internet connection.
Wifi has nine devices attached: TVs, Ecobees, phones, etc. 10 neighbors show up in this apartment condo, using channels 1-12 on 2.4 gHz, but none on 5 gHz.
