Orbi RBR50 Dropping Internet Connection Regularly
I have an Orbi RBR50 and RBS50 connected via wireless backhaul. They have been working perfectly for a year. For the past two weeks, the router has been dropping the Internet connection regularly, ...
Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean everyone does. Not everyone is having a bad experience.

Obviously users are helping others so and its' what they want to hear so lets let users help out...
You didn't prove anything and since you've already moved on and returned yours, leads us to think either the system was bad or you didn't bother enough to troubleshoot the real problem or not experienced enough to work with MESH. Your not suffering anymore.
So lets move along.
Cheers.

Sorry to sound like a jerk, but this guy’s the worst. Every post in every thread is the same copy and paste **bleep** that no one wants to hear. We have real issues with this router and no one provides any real solutions. Instead, they copy and paste like adding insult to injury. I could copy and paste all day, but how does that help anyone?
The Orbi is a seriously flawed system. So many of us are suffering with it while we depend on it for work, school, etc.
Do what others did, including myself. Return it if you can and get a more reliable system. It’s truly not worth the headache.
I suspect some of the happy users are using them only as Wireless Access Points.

My Orbi is set to Router Mode and I'm a happy Orbi user.
I had too many issues when I started with Orbi that -fortunately- I could solve, the hard way.
Orbi is a great device if you find the root cause of and fix your configuration issues.
I agree that Orbi should have better troubleshooting tools to find issues in an easier way, but I really hope that this will come later.
Mines in router mode as well.
