Orbi drops Internet Connection
I recently purchased and installed the Orbi RBR50 mesh wifi system with 2 sats and it works GREAT! Until it drops the internet connection repetedly. It does this about every 2 hours and comes back ...
Hello Jleecloak1
Did you try a factory reset after loading the firmware?

Yes, I had to do a factory reset just to get the Orbi router and satellite to work again after installing the firmware. After an hour long process of getting everything back online within the first 10 minutes my Orbi router rebooted and to my surprise it rebooted again 30 minutes later. That was enough for me.
I got tired of the frequent drops and random connection speeds and just decided to connected my ASUS AC87U back to my network. I took the Orbi off completely. I am definitely thinking about posting it to Ebay, since Asus and Samsung are about to release new mesh routers. So far my ASUS router has been great no problems at all with my network.
