RBR50 is constantly dropping connection wirelessly after a factory reset and firmware upgrade
I'm having a situation where my Orbi RBR50 crapped out a couple of weeks ago (no connection, couldn't log onto the device any longer) for an unknown reason, as nothing in my setup had changed. I had ...
Hey thanks a lot for taking the time to reach out with this possible solution. I really appreciate it. I'm giving it a go now!
IF your factory reset does NOT help, your problem MAY be related to 2.7. 2.104.
I am seeing my iOS devices constantly having issues. The WiFi will appear connected, but internet is inaccessible. I have to toggle WiFi off and on, and then sometimes it comes back quickly and sometimes not. I have tried using manually set external DNS servers, but that doesn't seem to change the behavior. This has happened for a while, even before I upgraded to 2.7.2.104 firmware.
It was mentioned in another thread that the "Traffic Meter" function may be the cause. I have been having the same trouble after the latest firmware 2.6.2.104, and even when Traffic Meter is on it is not showing any metrics, so I agree there seems to be some problem with it. Turning off "Traffic Meter" should fix your issue.

- I will give it a try. Thanks!
I'd recommend V2.6.1.40 as it seems much more stable. My MS Teams was constantly complaining about dropped connection and my web page would freeze in the middle of loading after I went to the latest version of firmware. I reverted back to V2.6.1.40 and it seems to fix the problem.
