RBR750 internet disconnections
Ive got a 1.5 year old Mesh rbr750 running firmware V4.6.14.3_2.3.12 and I am getting random short bursts of internet outages. During the internet outages i am seeing the solid magenta light on the ...
I have had the ISP replace all cables from the power poll to the wiring inside of the house. They have checked that the modem has been provisioned properly. I have a cat 6 in place between router and modem. There are no signal splitters , filters or attenuators on the cable line into the house.
I have followed the steps for powering off all devices, both modem and router. I have reset both the modem and router to default firmware (then upgraded the router and modem firmware). My home is 1500 sq ft , but the satellites cover the entire lot which is around 9000 sq ft. All satellites are placed at least 30 ft from one another
Where exactly are the DHCP settings you are referring to in the router ? It looks like there are a couple of spots in the router setup where I can specify DHCP addresses.
Im really at a loss here and growing increasingly frustrated, willing to try anything at this point. I am highly technical and can provide additional information or perform advanced troubleshooting steps as needed.
So the home is 1500sq feet in size however you say entire lot is 9000sq ft? Doesn't make sense here.
If your home, just the home is 1500 sq ft, then you really only need the RBR and maybe 1 RBS. The 2nd RBS would be a bit too much.

This system is only for inside home user and just some outside of the home coverage. Not meant to cover larger areas outside of the home.
Advanced Tab/LAN Setup.
Also enable SIP ALG as well under WAN setup.
We have devices outside that need internet access , the extra satellites help to cover that area. Additionally I need good coverage in the garage. Actual coverage area is likely over 4000 sq ft.
IF the RBR is showing PINK when this happens, can you look at the RBRs web page and check both BASIC tab for Internet status and the Advanced Home page for Internet section. Looking for status on the basic page and on the advanced tab under Internet section is there a WAN IP address displayed here or is this section empty? If the Basic tab says WAITING or BAD something at the ISP modem is not feeding the RBR correctly.
Have the ISP review any modem logs during this time frame on when this happens to see if there is any thing they can spot.
Might try a different ISP modem.
After much further investigation I believe that this issue is not a problem with the ORBI but rather the modem firmware for Motorola's MB8611 modems and specifically xfinity internet. You can see loads of people on the xfinity forums stating that they have this same issue
