What is your ISP lease time please? You can check this in the web GUI under >> ADVANCED >> ADVANCED Home >> INTERNET PORT >> CONNECTION STATUS >> Lease Obtained

| Lease Obtained | 1 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes |
| Lease Expires | 0 Days, 21 Hours, 31 Minutes |

This is a problem in Orbi since a long time and is still very obvious in the latest firmware.
