Orbi drops interernet connection
Hello
I have an rbk53 (firmware V2.3.5.30) connected to a Genexis Hybrid modem (FTTH).
From my PCs/Devices I experience disconnections to the internet, 2-3 times a day. The Genexis shows that it is connected so I do not suspect the provider.
Whenever the disconnection is observed I either
1. go to Orbi web admin interface, click Internet and then Test (solves the issue in a few seconds)
2. unplug/plug the ethernet cable towards the modem (solves the issue in several seconds)
both actions solve the issue, but it is annoying...
My questions are
1. Is there a known incopatibility/issue between the 2 devices (orbi and genexis)?
2. How can I further troubleshoot the issue and solve it?
thanks in advance for your help

Re: Orbi drops interernet connection
The next time this happens, can you go to the Orbi web interface, the Advanced Tab, and click on the "Connection Status".
What does it show for the DHCP lease? Here's mine:

Hi
the values I have now are the following, and if I remeber correctly, I see similar ones when the issue occures (maybe the exipration is a bit higher, like 26 min):
Lease Obtained 0 Days, 0 Hours, 30 Minutes Lease Expires 0 Days, 0 Hours, 22 Minutes

Re: Orbi drops interernet connection
Hello,
I asked them and they say it is normal.
Their exact answer is "The lease lasts for 30mins and is refreshed every 15minutes. This is normal"
Does that affect my router that much?

Re: Orbi drops interernet connection
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed on the RBR and RBS since last FW update?
I for one and others have mentioned that this seems to help after last FW update to help resolve odd issues seen after the last FW update was appllied.

Re: Orbi drops interernet connection
Yes. Under Administration/Backup.
Please factory reset and setup from scratch first and test the problem before applying the back up configuration.
