orbi rbr850 continually repeatedly dropping internet (router solid magenta)
I have an Orbi RBR850 router with one satellite. I use Comcast internet with a cable modem Arris tg1682g set in bridge mode and the Orbi in router mode. I have been using this set up since getting ...
As a follow up, it was indeed Comcast and the Orbi is back to performing just fine! Thanks for the help.
It runs a program called BassEQ which works with a miniDSP on the local network to add bass filters to subwoofer signals for movies. It needs a static IP to work.

Thanks. People often use Pi's for DNS resolution (Pi-Hole) or as DHCP servers.
It seems strange that this started immediately after the Comcast outages. Could Comcast have reset their modem as part of the outage restoration, and perhaps 'changed something'?
Yea, I suppose anything is possible, but the modem is still in bridge mode. Not sure what else they could've changed that would affect the Orbi.
Does anything show in the Orbi log corresponding to loss of internet?
All it shows is a bunch of DHCP IP to MAC addresses, a time synch to NTP when I last unplugged the router. Then a bunch of "older" events with time stamps of August 2023? with UPnP set event: AddPortMapping, more DHCP IP and then at the bottom is internet connected and initialize firmware to a 2023 date.
above the log it has current time/date correct.
As an addendum, since posting the first time, I did lose a connection again this time with the satellite going magenta and the router staying lights off. But both the hard connection and wifi stopped working.
