Netgear Orbi RBR850 - Loses internet connection
I'm so tired of Netgear Orbi routers! I previously had the RBR50 which used to lose internet connection often. When it worked, the speed was great but when it didn't (which was way too often), it had...

when the Orbi router displays solid magenta then it means that it lost IP connectivity. This can't be a radio issue!
You need to investigate why the RBR is loosing it's IP connectivity with the Verizon router.
Any thoughts on what else I can try? I agree it's losing internet connection. Was saying I don't believe it's losing connection because it's losing its DHCP lease. The DHCP lease seems fine.
Like I previously said, only the Netgear Orbi loses internet connection. Every other device connected via ethernet to my Verizon router retains internet connection. So this is localized to Orbi.
Also, one more thing to add... Quite often, the Orbi reconnects to the internet on its own. When it loses internet connection at night, would typically be reconnected by morning. At times, it takes 10 mins to reconnect, at times hours. So it just goes through random disconnects and reconnects.
