This would seem to be an indication that the Windows computer turned off the WiFi adapter during sleep as part of the Power Settings. When the computer "woke up", it connected to the network. If the message is annoying, there may be a setting to prevent it from showing up.
Unless there is a message in the Orbi log indicating a change in the router's internet connection, this would not seem to have anything to do with the router.
It's not the message that's annoying. It's just the fact why would it disconnect. The only thing I can do on the wifi adapter in power save is to make it low power saving. There is no disabling it. Apparently there used to be and they got rid of the setting. I'm not one to mess around too much with settings cause do one thing then you mess up 5 other things.
Do you see this option at all?
Yeah I looked around and found that. I'm guessing maybe if I turn it off then it won't disconnect the PC. All my other devices no issues cause I can watch TV just fine so I know that the router isn't disconnecting other things. Those are all wifi signal connected anyways thru the Satellite.

I think what we are saying is that the router is not disconnecting the PC, either. The PC has decided to drop the network connection while asleep and reconnect when it wakes up. If the PC never goes to sleep, then this problem goes away.
