First time loss of connection rbr50 after update to 2.0.0.74
System purchased in july. Connected with only defaults. No guest Network. Connected to main netgear router n750. Double NAT. System updated automatically to 1.12.0.18. All worked perfectly. In Augus...
Some more info.
- I rolled back the firmware on the router and both satellites. Didn’t help
- when I lose Internet connection, I can still logon to the orbi router admin counsel. The status of internet shows good. If I run a speed test from the router, I get very good upload and download.
- I checked the log file and it shows that the ip addresses on the internet can’t be reached.
I will try the reset thing next time I have time when the router dies - should be in the next day

I have gotten all of these problems. The Orbi WiFi coverage in our house is amazing, so I want to make it work. But, I have about given up. I will try to do what has been suggested here. I'm not sure how to reset the NVRAM, but I'll figure it out if documented somewhere. As I have said, I did a factory reset, updated the firmware to 2.0.0.74, and then did the basic configuration only to have the routing fail for 2 wired PCs. l seem to have a security camera that is probably causing problems with duplicate IP addresses (and thus confusing the networking problems), but again I can circumvent this.
I was thinking about putting the Orbi in AP mode and using any of my routers for the routing. However, I saw what I believe was a post from someone who did just this and ran into WiFi problems. Has anyone else done something like this and have it work?
