For 6 months I am having an internet connection that frequently is disconnected. At that time I used a Ubee EVW321B (in bridge-modus) and TP-link Deco P9. The latter one was working as a cable modem as well as a wifi modem. Before this period it worked good with a stable internet connection but for some reason, the internet connection became very unstable. I tried a new cable splitter and new connection cables which were sent to me by the internet provider but this did not work. Therefore, I changed the TP-link for the Netgear Orbi RBR353 (Orbi RBR350 with 2 satellites) with the hope to get a better connection. Yet this was idle hope. I still had to restart the modem, router and all the other apparatus more than once a day. Finally, the internet provider change the Ubee mode for a newer one; the Ubee UBC1318ZG modem. The repairer from the provider also changed some other, older connection points and fixed a problem in our block Points-of-presence of the cable. This made the internet connection much better although I still had to restart the laptops, Mobi's etc once a day to keep the internet stable. To see if it was an issue for the internet provider I clicked a laptop directly on the modem and this gave a stable connection although the latency (ping) was on the slower side (more than 30 ms). When using the Ubee and Orbi together the connection became unstable again with latency between 20 and 800 ms and very frequently package losses of 100%. As this is only the case when the Orbi is connected to the Ubee I think it has something to do with the settings of the Orbi or the interaction between the Orbi and the Ubee. Does anyone recognise this problem or have a solution that could fix this unstable internet connection? That would be great. By the way, the Orbi has the latest firmware update. We are using both Windows 10/11 and macOS. Thanks
The problem has been solved. It appeared that the Apple Time capsule was the problem. It was part of the network as a backup system for my MacBook bot was disable to act as a router or wifi point. Dus to some kind of problem it was disturbing the internet signal. Now it is out of the network al is stable with nu interruption or bad signals.
Thank you for your reply. I tried your solutions but alas it did not help.
I also tried to connect a laptop direct to the Ubee modem and that give good signals and internet connection. When I connect the Orbi to the modem and use it as a router I keep on getting frequent periods od loss of connection. I tried to connecting the modem direct to the cable entrance but without results. In both WIFI and cable I still got these unstable connections. I think there must be some kind of a miscommunication between the modem and the Orbi. Is there something I can do in the settings of the Orbi? Thanks
I have cat 7 cables running through the house. The cable between the modem and the router is the network cable I got with the Orbi. This appeared to be a Cat 5e cable. I changed this now for a cat 7 cable I got. I will let you know if that makes any difference. If not I will try your second advice.
