my orbi rbr 50 connection drop fix
firmware got auto updated to .44. over the weekend, i have constant internet drop issues. before that i dont have any issue since i bought it four months ago. i think i was on .210, dont know why it ...
Hi all,
I can confirm the internet connection gets dropped occasionally.
I do have an ORBI RBR50 on Software 2.3.1
| Hardwareversion | RBR50 |
| Firmwareversion | V2.3.1.44 |
| GUI Sprachversion | V1.0.0.354 |
This occured right after the update from 2.2.* to the current software.
Within the Orbi Logs I ca see DDOS attacks, which may force the router to drop the connection for safty reasons but if this was true, I would consider this as a software bug/malfunction.
Only solution is to unplug the internet cable that is attached at the modem and plug it back in.
-> This behaviour has to be resolved by Netgear, since they did not test ORBI software 2.3.1. with DDOS attacks and what Orbi then would do.
Cheers,
from Hamburg, Germany

DDOS attacks are a "fact of life". They happen to every internet connected device, every day. When Orbi places something in the log file, that means that (a) the Orbi detected it, and (b) it was rejected. Orbi will not drop the wide area connection in response to an "attack" that it recognizes. My Orbi logs record attacks every day, and my connection never drops. If the internet connection is dropping, something else is causing it.
