RBR50 rebooting several times during the day
I have a pc hard wired to the RBS50 Satellite and lose the connections several times during the day. I also had a NAS attached but moved it to the RBR50 Router. I have changed both wireless channels and enabled Beamforming/MU-MIMO. This just started happening in the last week. I am on firmware V2.2.1.210. The home size is 1950 sqft and the satellite is about 30 ft from the router. I originally thought this was just an issue with the satellite but I am getting alerts that the NAS is still going offline while plugged into the router.

Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Is this only happening with the NAS connected to the Orbi system? Does this happen if you disconnect the NAS from the Orbi system?

Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many? I can see 3 wifi networks.Is this only happening with the NAS connected to the Orbi system? Does this happen if you disconnect the NAS from the Orbi system? I just now confirmed its not the Router and only the Satellite restarting. NAS is attached to the router now.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
Set up a reserved IP address for the satellite ON the router.
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO.
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).Your ISP modem has a built in router already FYI.
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
Can you estimate how many times a day it is going off line?
Always at about the same time?
How many hours between each drop?
Your modem is a router and a telephone gateway

You need to either bridge that modem or use Orbi In AP mode.
I presume you use telephones through this modem?
Yes the modem is in bridge with the Orbi in router. I setup a static route to the satellite and haven't had an issue for the rest of the day. I will post again tomorrow if it continues.
