ORBI RBR50 experiencing "[Internet disconnected]" just in the last 1-2 weeks. Maybe recent firmware
I have RBR50 and for a year had no issues. However just in the past 1-2 weeks I've seen daily disconnects where I the Wifi connection is fine but the Internet connection to the RBR50 appears to have ...
Sorry for the delay but i'm back to report that disabling Circle in my router config appears to have corrected the disconnect/DNS issue that I was experiencing. It's now been a week or so since making the change and I have had zero instances of the "[Internet disconnected] in my router logs from 4/3/2020 thru 4/8/2020
This is good news and bad. The interesting thing is that before my last firmware upgrade, I had been running Circle with no problems. So I'm still suspicious that something related to running v2.5.1.8 and Circle together, results in the issue.
For now, i'll go cancel my Circle subscription but if a future firmware update is released, I'll likely try re-enabling Circle and see if the issue returns.
Also, I run my router and single RBS50 about 40 ft apart (RBR50 in the garage and RBS50 on the same floor in the kitchen) since someone asked about distance between the two.
Thanks all for the quick offers/input to help and suggestion to try disabling Circle as it appears to have worked.
Regarding date of FW update, I usually only admin from my App and I don't see where the date of applocation is listed.
Do I need to logon to the router from a browser? If so, must I do so from a LAN connection or can I do it over home WiFi? Which was is preferred?
I'l look at the my manual and see what it says. As soon as I have the info, I will respond.
Yes, from a PC or laptop connected wired or wireless.
