Hi I have an Orbi RBR50 connected to a satelite RBS50 linked via the RBR50 to a BT modem. Sometimes our internet connection stops and this is now happening more frequently, Its now been 2 days in a...
Thanks everyone,
As suggested I've had to use the BT hub as the router and the Orbi as an AP. Turning off the BT hub wireless and using the Orbi wireless.
I tried the suggestion of accessing the BT hub option to set it in modem mode but as said above this did not work.
Its worked fine now for a few days.
You will be find with the Orbi in AP mode.
Enjoy.

Very true. But should you feel the urge to dump BT's nasty object, a simple modem will do the trick. I have a Netgear DM200 – other brands are available.
The only issue with this is that Netgear does not have a modem that supports BT's implementation of IPv6. That does not seem to matter at the moment, but you never know where things are going.
In general Netgear seems to have given up on creating new models of its DSL modems. Prices of new ones on the USA are outrageously high.
