RBR750 pink light every day
Hi! I installed a couple days ago the Netgear Orbi RBR750 and when it works, it really works good. The only thing is that the router show every morning when i wake up the pink light. I already r...
After trying the suggested changes by ekhalil you might want update FW on the Orbi system at some point:

Hi FURRYe38,
I have the Firmware version: V4.6.5.14 (the last version). The router is an TP-link Archer XR500v and i connected with the ethernet cable.
For me it's 0 Days, 1 Hour, 0 Minutes.
It will be great if the provider can reduce this lease time as much as possible. 1 day is quite long lease time, I guess that's why you have the issue every morning!
Maybe a stupid thought. But when the lease time is expired, my internet is also off, it seems when I look at the times. Isn't it the intention to increase the lease time?
What should happen is that after half of the lease time (12 hours in your case), Orbi will ask the ISP to renew the lease. For whatever reason (disturbances, bad quality,....) the half-life renewal of the lease will get lost and Orbi will think it doesn't have an IP and will die after 12 additional hours. If you wait for another 12 hours (the next half-life renewal) your internet will probably work! 🙂
To solve this issue, for bad lines, Orbi needs to ask for renewals more frequently.
You should ask your ISP either to improve the line quality (my ISP changed the ONT module and things got better) or -as an interim solution- to reduce the lease time 🙂
Clear! thanks. I am going to call the provider and will post my update later.
Hi ekhalil,
The lease time is set to 1 hour. And what I was saying before happens now. After one hour i lost the connection and need to reboot the ORBI system. The other thing what i did is login in the web interface and go to the settings and push the button 'Renew' and 'Release', when i i do that everything works again. Unfortunately for one hour.
Is it not an idea to put the lease time 'Unlimited'? Or what i can change otherwise?
ekhalila small update from my last message (don't forgot to read my message what i send before). I changed the lease time to maximum on this moment and that is 2 days... Now he still working after one hour so need to be something with the lease time. The only problem is that i need to reboot the ORBI router or release / renew the lease time manual in the web interface before the internet is working again.
