Re: Orbi AC3000 RBK50 has stopped working with Uverse 5268AC router

I got the Orbi 8 months ago. Initially it was fantastic. The set-up wizard recognized the Uverse router and put the Orbi into AP mode. Performance was great. I turned off the wifi on the Uverse router and all was well.
A couple of months ago, we started to lose connection with some frequency. I was constantly having to cycle the power on all devices. Then service would come back and I'd be good for a few hours or days.
Recently, it's just ground to a halt. I have tried everything I can think of:
1) Factory reset of the Orbi
2) Put Orbi into router mode and set the Uverse router to DMZ+ mode
3) Put the Orbi back into AP mode and turned off DMZ+ mode on the Uverse router
4) Turned the Wifi back on on the Uverse router. I verified that the Uverse router has internet access.
When I'm running in AP mode right now:
- orbilogin.net says that the Orbi has good internet access
- Wifi devices connect but have no internet access
- Devices hardwired to the Orbi have no internet access
- Uverse router has good internet access when connected to directly
I'm stumped. What should I do?
I wondered if I could try designating the Orbi as a cascading router on the Uverse settings. Would that work? How do I do that?

Hi Darren,
Yes, I did try that. It didn't work.
Since posting this, I switched back to using the AP mode (but left my AT&T router's WiFi on - not that that should matter). The Orbi Wifi continued to be unstable for 24 hours but then has returned to performing properly.
So I'm fine now but I don't really know why.

Hello Adamcarley
Did you ever try to shut the router off in the ATT modem and use orbi as the main router?
