ORBI RBK753S
Hello, I have had the tri band router and 2 satellites for a month now. No issues the first three weeks, but this week, my internet connection started to drop once a day for about 5 minutes each day...

The Orbi "app" provides very little information about what is happening with the Orbi. There is more information in the Orbi web interface. Open a web browser with http://orbilogin.net The login credentials are "admin" (which cannot be changed) and the administrative password (when the Orbi is first purchased, this is actually "password" and the user is encouraged to make it more complicated).
On the Advanced Tab home screen, there is a box on the right labelled "Connection Status" which shows the length of the lease the Orbi received on the public IP and how much time until the lease expires. Does this each day event correspond to the expiration of the IP lease?

Thanks for the response! I will start watching the lease expiration time and comparing it to when my wifi disconnects.
