Netgear drops the ball... again. RBR50 on FW2.5.1.8
I'm a longtime Orbi user. I bought the system as soon as it was available. I'm also fairly knowledgeable with tech devices. The Orbi worked flawlessly for me since he beginning. Like most of you,...
UnCapitano , was there anything in the logs that would be out of place?
I've also had the first generation Orbi RBK53 on v.2.5.1.8 and it's been working okay so far. However, my setup is quite different than a would be normal Orbi setup. I've already given up trying to get Orbi to function as a proper Router + Disney + Armor, because it's nothing but trouble. To get Orbi to a stable state, I have to disable practically everything that I could disable, including its internal DHCP client. I'm currently keeping Orbi for its WiFi capability and delegate all other router functions to my DIY PC pfSense Router Firewall for Gigabit speed.
Everyone of us in CA are in a similar situation, Shelter-At-Home, with heavy WiFi usage. It's the worst time for Orbi to fail. I'm lucky that my Orbi setup is still holding up...
But isn’t that the issue? I mean, I don’t have Disney or Armor enabled due to the issues I had ( mostly with Armor). I literally only have my home devices ( various iPhones, gaming systems , MacBooks and iPads ) online.
The only recent changes were adding Xfinity security, which runs wired and a video doorbell, which is also wired.
The orbi just loses connection to the internet and I can’t tell why. I will check the logs to see why it may interrupt.
