Daylight Savings Time, NTP, DNS Issues
Something is going on with Orbi routers and NTP/DNS. Since the time change, many users are reporting issues with their DNS failing since the time change: https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/m...
Went in to disable the Traffic Manager (Internet Traffic Manager on the Orbi rbr50?) and found it was never enabled, Yet, I'm still seeing the issue.
Hi Orbi Community,
In our engineers investigation, the cause is identified as the incorrect behavior on traffic meter which will constantly do some setting on router DNS while daylight saving is turned on. And this could possibly make the DNS query unstable.
Workaround solution: Turn off traffic meter.
Access orbilogin.com > go to ADVANCED Tab > Advanced Setup > Traffic Meter and uncheck "Traffic Meter"
Fix firmware is now available to resolve the issue even if the traffic meter is enabled. Kindly let me know or send me a private message by clicking this link if you would like to test it.
