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:

- 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?
And when you put the Orbi in place of the Linksys and in router mode is when you do see problems. i wouldnt be posting if there were no problems.
Does the modem from the ISP use DHCP or PPPoE to connect to the ISP services? some variant of dsl, likely vdsl. while it supports that, it is not something the user can select.
this is going to be several posts to deal with the character limit.
AT&T uverse internet
device provided/leased by att: http://www.dslreports.com/hardware/Pace-5031NV-h4058
no other device options available. none that i can find. none they are offering to send me.
supposedly the uploaded firmware when i called back in january. there is a status page that shows initial and current firmware. it is the same.
There was a recent post about two users having problems with PPPoE on Orbi. Not quite the same issue however they could not get to spec ISP speeds. Possible there maybe an issue between your Orbi and use of PPPoE that NG needs to look in to. NG should ask you to capture debug logs so they can review and see what is happening. I would file a support ticket and see if NG can look at your debug logs.
You might also ask for the Beta thats available too:
