Orb RB40 MAJOR DNS Issue
My $300 dollar Orbi investemnt appears to be a waste of money after 4 months use. All of a sudden the Router stops responding to DNS requests. I work in the network engineering field and have over ...
Hi,
I did perform a factory reset (paperclip). I then restored my previously saved configuration because I've got custom DNS entries, I've got a range of static IP addresses for certain devices, and a bunch of other little changes that I would have forgotten about.
Is there a way I can extract all of my configuration (without having to perform a print-screen on every screen!) so that I can perform another factory reset, then configure from scratch using my preferred configuration? Having a text version of configs would be ideal so I could copy from the text, then paste values (MAC, IP, etc,) directly into the freshly reset configuration.

Let us know how it goes after the reset. Hopefully you should be ok.
What NTP settings did you end up using?

I performed a reset, then reloaded a slightly outdated saved configuration. Per advice seen on this forum I:
1) Used a non-NETGEAR time server
2) Turned off DST
3) Advanced my TZ from EST to AST to accommodate for lack of DST.
It's been smooth sailing for several days. Mischief managed!!!

- After removing dst and changing timezone to match actaul time without dst, all has been working coming up on a week now. Appears this is a fix until it's resolved in firmware upgrade. I don't believe traffic meter played anything with this bug as I was hitting it and did not have meter enabled.
