Occassional Internet Loss - RBR20
I am trying to track down a nuisance connectivity issue. I occasionally encounter loss of connection for typically a few seconds (1 - 20 seconds). Normally this wouldn't be an issue, however it's a pain when I'm connected to my work through a VPN and it drops upon a slight loss in internet. My computer is connected wirelessly to the RBR20 router. I've got two wireless satellites and one hardwired satellite. I show that there are about 20 different devices connected to the orbi system. Most are minor devices (Ring doorbell cameras, etc.). I don't have any complaint about speed (ATT fiber - 300MB). I contacted ATT and they said that there hasn't been any connection issue to their smarthub in a couple of months and supposedly they see on a second by second basis. ATT suggested that I reach out to Mesh community as they don't see a problem on their side. I downloaded an Internet Connection Monitor extension in Chrome, i've attached the log to this post. I am unsure if the connectivity is a concern without being connected to the VPN as I probably wouldn't recognize the loss of connection for a few seconds depending on what I was doing. I do occasionally run into loss of internet on smart TV's so I'm assuming that the random connection is routinely occurring. NOTE - this log would only be valid when I have my work computer connected to home network, so I'd guess that the connection concern is a whole lot worse than I am showing. Any suggestions on what to look for or settings to change? The connection shows full strength.

Hello everyone, I am experiencing an issue with my Netgear Orbi RBK23 router where the admin interface is completely inaccessible, despite the device being online and reachable. Problem Symptoms: I can successfully ping the Orbi at 192.168.1.1 with stable low latency. All connected devices have internet access and are functioning properly. Attempting to access http://192.168.1.1 or http://orbilogin.com via a browser results in an endlessly loading page with no error message, just continuous loading. The admin login page does not appear. Troubleshooting Steps Taken So Far: Tried multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and also in Incognito or Private mode. Accessed the admin page using both http://192.168.1.1 and http://orbilogin.com. Attempted direct access using http://192.168.1.1:80 and https://192.168.1.1:443 in case ports were misbehaving. Cleared DNS cache using ipconfig /flushdns. Connected to the Orbi via wired Ethernet (LAN) instead of Wi-Fi. Disabled antivirus and firewall temporarily to rule out local blocking. Restarted the router by unplugging it from power for over 30 seconds. Attempted to access via the Orbi mobile app but no connection to admin functions is possible. Observations: The Orbi responds perfectly to ping. All connected devices have internet access. The router LEDs indicate normal operation. Question: Is there any way to restart or recover the web admin interface without performing a factory reset? Could this be related to a known issue with the Orbi's internal web server hanging? Are there advanced methods to restart services (via SSH, Telnet, etc.) or any other ideas before resorting to a full reset? Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
