Random disconnects on Orbi

I've had my Orbi for 3 weeks now and when it works I love it.  It's very random skmetomea it will happen twice a day sometimes it will fine for days then just randomly will flash white disconnects for about 2 minutes comes back up and starts working again. Any idea what it can be? It wouldn't be so bad but I work from home some disconnects during the work day are really annoying. Any help is appreciated my wife wants me to return it.

Hello Asdc2704

 

Have you checked your modem to make sure its not losing internet connection?

Re: Random disconnects on Orbi

I'm running into the same issue all of the sudden. It's been for about 10 days or so, everything had been working perfect up until then. I recent updated to RBR50-Firmware-Version-1-12-0-18 but still have the same problem. Did the factory reset, just disconnected again... Starting to get sad that this great tech might not be working properly...

Re: Random disconnects on Orbi

I have the 3 pack Orbi AC3000 from Costco. Several connection drops per day before and after the latest firmware V1.12.018. I thought it was my Comcast service issue for a few weeks then I missed the return deadline to Costco. Now, I'm stuck with a $500 system worse than wireless routers I had less than 1/3 of cost.  I'm tired and fed up by this and false sense of hope the next firmware will solve this issue.

Hello sunnyyan

 

Have you tried a factory reset on the unit since the latest firmware update?
