RBK50 Dropping Internet
Hi folks, I wonder if someone could help. I recently purchased an Orbi mesh router system. Since I've purchased it I've had nothing but trouble. How much of the trouble is down to the router and ...

Let us know how it goes. Seems like this could be a ISP issue.

Folks, just to follow on from this. Its looking very like this was an ISP issue all along. BT eventually sent and engineer to my home after a number of attempts to do so (usual BT problems where differnt departments seem incapable of working together. Highly frustrating but probably not a rant for here). He simply replaced my openreach modem with a smaller more up to date version and all issues seem to have disappeared since. I've now had a solid working internet connection for a whole week (yay!).
Now at the moment I'm still running in AP mode with the bt home hub connected in. I've updated the firmware as you suggested and made the changes to DST settings. So with any luck when I change back to connecting straight from the modem to the orbi router I'll hopefully not have any issues.
Thank you for your help it was very much appreciated.
