I have good internet over ethernet. but wireless devices drop randomly during the day.
It might help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.

Hello DY65,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are having multiple disconnects with your RBR50. Have you tried placing your RBR50 in AP mode or your ISP router in bridge mode to resolve this issue?
Best,

I wish I understood what AP mode meant, but from what I understand does that apply to me since my router does not broadcast a wifi signal?
