What happens when the wifi goes down?
What firmware version do you have on the device?

When the Wifi goes down, we just lose service to all devices. I am using firmware V2.3.5.30.

Sadly "it doesn't work" answers won't get us much further. The devil is in the detail.
What happens to the LEDs on the Orbi router?
Do you have any wired devices connected? If so, what happens to them when the wifi dies?

Come to think of it, what is the make and model of that modem, if there is one?
