wifi disconnect after 30 minutes when computer is inactive
Model: AC3000|RBK50
Hello all, Internet disconnect from my computer after un certain period of inactivity (<30 minutes). It should stay on. I know there must be something with my Orbi sttings, but I don't know how to change settings so Internet stays on even if computer is inactive.
Please help me!

If only this one PC is being affected, it might be a good idea to check the Control Panel Power Options menu, especially the Advanced Options - Wireless. There is no setting on the Orbi that would cause it to disconnect WiFi after a period of inactivity.
