Orbi RBK50 - Cannot connect to the internet unless I use a VPN
Hi,
For the first 2 months or so after installation the ORBI system worked great. Now I find that often we are connected to the wifi with full strength however there is no internet connection (...

ekhalil Thanks for your quick response. When I review the lease obtained it is showing a huge value of 49710 days:

I suggest to reduce the lease time so that Orbi will periodically renew the DHCP lease from the ISP. Please do the following:
- From browser go to the router's debug page (http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm). Use your router's IP address or http://orbilogin.com/debug.htm
- Enter admin as user name and your router’s management password
- Tick "Enable Telnet" option
- Use Telnet to connect to your Router telnet 192.168.1.1 and enter admin and the same password as above
- Enter the following commands:
- root@RBR50:/# config get wan_lease --Should give you --> 86400 which means 24 hours
- root@RBR50:/# config set wan_lease=3600 --3600 means 1 hours
- root@RBR50:/# config commit

The lease time you see is the lease time provided by the ISP and it will not change. What we changed is the lease time requested by Orbi.
I hope that this will help. Please keep us updated how it goes!
