RBR50 drops internet at night
This is a NETGEAR FIRMWARE issue I have read many of the post on this issue. I have even gone so far as to replace my RBR50 with another and still has the problem. It is NOT my internet provider have...
Every night now every day around noon
every device in the house
the orbi app on iPhone confirms there is zero internet i.e. RBR50 is offline
always confirmed by Okla speed test also
all RBS50 are still connected but offline
I've sat through enough failure analysis meeting in the semiconductor industry to know that anomalies occur. Such as say thin oxide which allows a punch through. There are enough complaints on the internet which indicate this problem does occur and more than likely is in the firmware. Believe your firmware has a thin oxide so to speak.
Would be helpful to have more detail about what is happening twice each day.
- Does the unit physically power itself off and has to be powered on again manually?
- Does the unit actually reboot?
- What shows in the Orbi log at these times?
- Does the service interruption coincide with the end of the Internet Service Provider (ISP) IP lease?
