orbi rbr750 keeps going offline overnight
My Orbi RBR750 (model + 2 satellites) keeps going offline. It's fine at night but in the morning will be offline. I reboot it using the app and it's fine but it's going offline several times a week...
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update?
Do you see any front LED colors on the RBR or RBS when this happens?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Yes

No color on the RBS. Not sure on the RBR. I'd have to look at this next time.

2500 sq feet

Yes
Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
https://kb.netgear.com/000061277/Which-features-are-disabled-on-my-Orbi-router-when-it-is-set-to-AP-ModeI tried option 3 you suggested. We will see if that works.
I tried having the modem in bridge mode but it kept coming out of bridge mode and then my wifi would go unstable. So I took it out of bridge mode and turned off wifi. I did not do the AP (step 3) step as you suggested at that time. So just added that step now.
I am curious...how do you do #2? Are there detailed instructions for this? And should I do that in addition to 3 if 3 didn't work?
Thanks!
One needs access the the modems web page. There should be a user manual for doing this and accessing any DMZ or IP-Pass thru fuction on the modem. The ISP support services will also know how to set up the DMZ or IP-Pass thru features.
The options is mostly setting the IP address the RBR gets from the modem into the modems DMZ or IP-Pass thru for this option. So that there is less routing problems between the modem and RBR when you have two routers on the same line.
Keep us posted...
Same problems here, the Orbi RBK750 router has a purple light when I power-cycled it this morning after it went offline overnight. Again.
ISP - Ting gigabit fiber
Satelites are hard-wired to the router
Firmware version V4.6.3.7_2.0.49 (latest)

Are the RBS connected directly to the back of the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?
