Computer disconnects every morning from WiFi
Everything was working fine with Orbi, then in the last week, every day around 9AM, my desktop computer disconnects from wifi and the only way to get it back up is to restart Orbi. Then everything is fine for one day. I can't figure out what to do / check, please help!

Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, IPv6, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.This is the only device that loses connection, and it is in the same room as the router. All other items in my home are fine. It shows it is still connected to the internet but is not. Once I restart Orbi then the computer is fine. I am having to do this every morning. Let me look up the rest of the answers.
Ok, you'll need to review this on PC and contact the Mfr as well for additional help and information regarding there product.
