After the Orbi is configured, observe and monitor the received logs and monitor the RBR's IPaddress/debug.htm web page for System Uptime. Take notice of the current time and observe this web page for next 24-72 hours. Observe and monitor any wireless or wired disconnections or any application pause or application disconnections during this time frame.

Input this in to the RBRs email configuration. Password given will be a random 16 character (???? ???? ???? ????) format.
