Networking dropping after firmware update
I have an RBR40 Ordbi Router, and the network keeps dropping. Not just losing internet access, but dropping connectivity all together. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't think it is an ISP iss...
That seemed to have worked. Thank you!
Hello- The firmware version is V2.5.1.16. The modem is a Arris TM1602. We haven't had a problem until today, seemingly after the firmware update. Orbi is in Router mode (I believe). Home is 3,000 SF, and the satelitte was within 30 feet. However, I've unplugged the satellite to see if that was the problem. Couple of WiFi neighbors nearby.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? Something to try..
I haven't done that, but I will. We were using Circle for parental controls. Wonder if the fix NetGear is trying is causing a problem.
Try a factory reset and this time, don't enable Armor or Circle and see.
- I was having lots of issues after the 2.5.1.16 update. Most of my WiFi devices wouldn’t connect I.E. phones, smart switches etc. I tried using the Orbi app but it isn’t very feature rich, so I ended up logging directly into the router via 192.168.1.1. I looked around and didn’t see anything amiss but this thread gave me the idea to check out the parental controls. They were both off, so I turned one on, hit apply, then turned it off and hit apply again. Did the same to the other parental control option. After that everything connected automatically and my problems were solved.
