Orbi and internet dropping

I have had the Orbi RBS750 with a Spectrum internet modem working together since October of 2021.  In the middle of February 2022 the internet starting dropping randomly.  There were no internet outages verified by Spectrum. I can reset both devices and have internet for a day or so.  What troubleshooting can I try?  I have unplugged bothfor 30 seconds and then plugged the modem backin for 2 minutes followed by the Orbi.  Thanks

  • The problem was a splitter on the box outside the house.  Thanks again
