Orbi loosing port forwarding or something else happening
Mine hasn't had the internet loose connection any more, but I have an issue that is irritating. You know in some games when you join up on each other, like Call of Duty Infinite Warfare or Black Ops...
It's actually for the PC version of the games. All ports are setup correctly for it as it shows open when it works right then after a week it goes to strict till I reboot the router. Very frustrating.
Ok thanks for the info. I assume you are using manually assigned IP address for the PC then. Strange becuase I do have port forward to support my Media Server from outside the home and never seen it get blocked or disabled by the Orbi. You may want to open a support ticket with Netgear on this one.
Yes, sorry I should have answered that on the first post. I have a static IP set on the PC, so the router sends the port fwd to that IP. I may have to do it. Thanks.
It just happened again. I am about fed up with this crap. I can't keep having to reboot this router this often because of this. Even after locking in all the IPs as reservations the issue is still happening. :/This was not happening on 16 Firmware but have noticed it on 18 on a few games hopefully Netgear is aware and will address in next Firmware.
