intermittent wifi
I had a general area power cut a few weeks ago and now suffer intermittent wifi drop-out. I've contacted the ISP (Sky) who say the connection to the house is good (69Mb) and steady. I have a Sky router withe its wifi transmission switched off. The RBR50 is connected to the Shy router and there are two satellites attached. I have done a reset and switched off/disconnected and allow time before restarting. I am becoming more and more certain that the issue is the Orbi, possibly one of the satellites. Any suggestions out there to fix my problem?

Turning off wifi doesn't disble the router functions on the sky box.
It can cause a double nat.
What is Double NAT? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Not saying thats the issue but I usually recommend fixing double nat issues first.
options? (only use 1)
1. put the sky box in passthrough/modem only mode.
2. put the netgears IP address into the sky box's DMZ
3. put the netgear in access point mode.
