what is orbi's tcp session timeout value?
does anybody know orbi's tcp session timeout value? my guesstimate puts it somewhere around 5 or 10 minutes.
Ugh. Is there a character limit on posts? I struggled so much to reach word count on essays back in school. It would be nice if it notified you when going over the limit.
Phone typing version....long version after I’m home from work.
1. Upload speed matters. 5Mbps better than 1.5Mbps. They don’t offer faster upload speed where I live. Frequency of lost internet vastly improved.
2. Openwrt router with fresh release and orbi ap is pretty good. Any other device as router is probably going to be good.
I experimented with Linux back in college about 20 years ago. Openwrt experience is limited to some light reading of wiki and a stay at holiday inn express.
Nothing useful in logs explaining lost internet. Buffer bloat?

Possibly something with your ISP modem maybe.
Do you have problems with this modem and a different router?
Some info on Buffer Bloat. Mostly for gaming:

Nothing useful in logs explaining lost internet. Buffer bloat?- Let me rephrase point 2.
Pace 5031 nv - dmzplus setting - Linksys wrt1900ac - orbi ap mode - no complaints from family
Pace appears to be arris now.
Linksys has latest openwrt by my preferred source.
I’ll post other observations when I’m on computer. Perhaps netgear implementation to deal with buffer bloat. The base code openwrt used by orbi is quite dated. I wonder how much that contributed to issues observed.And when you put the Orbi in place of the Linksys and in router mode is when you do see problems.
Does the modem from the ISP use DHCP or PPPoE to connect to the ISP services?
