The wifi connections on my orbi system keeps dropping
Every 4 to 5 minutes, my orbi RBR50 AC3000 system diconnects and connects the wifi on both the 2,4ghz and the 5 ghz band. I have the newest sw installed on the router and satelite. I bougth my orbi ...
Unlikely to be a hardware problem. Use the paper clip method to do a full system reset of the Orbi.
If you have the means to do a site survey using WiFi analyzer, I’d do that as well to ensure using the best available channel.

I did the paperclip thing, total reset the router and the satelite, and reconfigured everything, i still got the same issue. Wifi disconnects and reconnect every 4 to 5 minuttes. I have changed the channels on both 2,4ghz and 5 ghz, i have deactivated beamforming, MU-MIMO and fast roaming.The only advanced features i use is portforwarding and i have activated dynamic DNS since im running a server at home, because my ISP wont give a static ip.
I forgot to mention when the Wifi drops, i stil got internet connection on my pc which is cabled.
- I’ve seen something happen like that when the LAN side of the Orbi was using the same subnet address range as the host router. However logging into the management console would clear it up because the Orbi was able to detect the conflict. Symptom was same. Wireless devices wouldn’t connect reliably while wired seemed to work.
What can i do about it then, if this is a subnet thing? I have checked the logfiles when the wifi drops, cant see any error messages related to this error in the log files.
