Orbi keeps dropping internet

this overpriced POS keeps dropping internet.  my AT&T router is fine, just the orbi mesh keeps dropping the internet... then I can't even log into it to check the status and settings because my computers can't connect to it.  Last I checked I was running the most current firmware.  Is mine a lemon, or is this thing just junk?!?

Re: Orbi keeps dropping internet

There are numerous threads on this forum regarding disconnects and dropouts. Do a quick search and you may find an answer to your question However there are a few questions that you should answer about your environment for someone to truly help you: How is your ORBI configured–as a router or AP? Since you stated your AT&T router works,what type of AT&T router is it and is it running at the same time your running the ORBI? If so, you have to reconfigure your AT&T router to be just an internet gateway and disable its routing feature.

 

Here's a link describing a method to use two routers on the same network:
