RBR50 out of nowhere is losing connectivity 5-7 random times a day
So, I am relatively technical and out of nowhere by Orbi Mesh has lost its mind. Spent two weeks with Spectrum to make sure everything is perfect between the Node and my House and then with Spect...

Ok, so I think there is a Devil in my Orbi...
Trying to turn on access control to BLOCK that one MAC address, could not do it, turn off Access Control and now this.

What PC are you using to manage the RBR and getting this web page?
Check the MAC address on this PC?
Make sure no random mac address features are enabled on this PC.
I would avoid using Access Controls for now until you can get the problem fixed.
May need to factory reset the sytem and setup from scratch.

Yeah so the ONLY PC at the moment connected....but as soon as that error came, it went away and I can log back into the Orbi with the same PC (laptop)
But access control has gone wild....
Logged in and I see this - I did not turn on nor did I block those. Line 2 is my PC and I am logged into the Orbi with that MAC and have internet (for the moment)
I know factory reset is next step...just trying to buy some time

Might select all those and then select ALLOW. Then turn back off Access Controls.
You say this is a laptop? If so, disable the laptop wifi radio if you are using ethernet on the laptop.
Ya, check for a honeywell device using that MAC address.
