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.
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.

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:
i got the itch for 5GHz and settled on linksys wrt1900ac v1. still had no AC capable devices. no internet connectivity problems. used mostly linksys firmware. but tried openwrt attitude adjustment and lede. ive settled on using openwrt as packaged by davidc502. used mostly openwrt with default settings, what a can of worms.
mid-2017 i got the itch again and built a desktop for gaming. orbi provided the connectivity solution i was looking for. desktop wired to satelite, then wireless to router. so i put the linksys wrt1900ac in the closet. with orbi, i got the advertised service of 18Mbps down/1.5Mbps up. speedtest.net rated around 24Mbps down/2.2Mbps up as i recall.
orbi worked great until the firmware of late 2017. randomly, the internet would go out for about 5 minutes at a time. typically, it was several hours inbetween. in retrospect, it almost always went out when someone comes home or fired up youtube, etc. buffer bloat? it would still go out at least once during the day when the house was empty or even in the dead of night. i would get the message from nest saying it lost connectivity.
internet would always return after 5 minutes. changes of settings on the pace or orbi made no difference. i still get the speedtest.net rated speeds when it works. i thought i was on to something with the pace tcp session timeout, but it may be a red herring.
