RBR50 randomly dropping signal
So I am beyond frustrated. I work from home and need a stable connection. I work for the government so each drop, even for a few seconds forces me to do an insanely slow complete reboot of my work sy...
Thank you. I will try to switch it to AP mode and see if that helps!
AP mode won't work.
Both of those modems are modem only. Its just one has built in voice capability.
So if you put the orbi in AP mode, nothing will be handling dhcp/nat.
I'd contact them to see if you can just use the Technicolor as it has voice and modem. Plus its more capable. There's no point to have the other one.
Good to know on the AP. I was skeptical that it was the solution because I had heard that as well.
I'll give them a call. I'm actually trying to switch to Hunter Communications. Half the cost and twice the speed and much better customer service.
Thanks for the assists.AP mode didn’t work.
I’m tired of this crap system. I’m done with netgear and they’ve permanently lost a customer for sure. Too many other good systems out there. Working full time and going to school full time, I don’t have time to research the crap out of how to get my wifi system to do what it’s supposed to.
Thanks to all that helped troubleshoot but I’m throwing in the towel. Hopefully netgear gets things figured out and fixes all the dropped wifi issues. 😕Its fine to be done.
I literally said AP mode won't work and gave an explanation why it wouldn't.
but you proceeded to try it anyway and then complained and said "done with netgear" after trying something that won't work.
Ok. Good luck with the next system.
