Dear All, I own a Netgear Orbi RBR V2. It normally functions very well and I am happy with the purchase 5 months ago. However, everytime I use the vacuum cleaner, the internet connection goes dow...

Start by resetting the network/wireless connection of your vacuum cleaner. Is it using DHCP? Make sure there isn't an IP address conflict or it's using an old IP address from your previous wireless setup. Also download and install the latest firmware for the vacuum cleaner.
- All, thanks! I am dealing with An old- fashioned vacuumcleaner from Miele. It is not connected to the internet. The network remains in place only the internet connection is lost. ( the router to which I have connected the Orbi still shows functioning Internet) the wifi connection is telling me connected no internet. After restarting the system it is back to normal.

Lights, motors, dimmer switches, microwaves, transformers, wall wort power supply, RF frequencies, High voltage wiring, etc can cause it. In your case, maybe your very old vacuum cleaner has worn out brushes or a weak armature causing a frequency interference reeking havoc on your router and/or satellites wifi channel.
You could try changing the WIFI channel which may or may not solve it. Or replace the vacuum.
