Orbi randomly stops traffic to devices
Orbi has worked great since I bought it a couple of years ago, but since about two weeks ago I’ve had problems. Randomly traffic all of a sudden stops going to devices, but any devices currently activ...
Your problem description exactly matches what I am experiencing. Started after updating to V2.7.2.104. Was completely stable before. I've had this system for about two years and it has performed without significant issues. I'm on CenturyLink fiber with a Zyxel C3000Z set in bridge mode. RBR50 is directly connected to the C3000Z. To restore function I have to reboot the Orbi router at least once a day. I have already tried resetting the satelitte as suggested in another thread. That did not appear to resolve the issue. Hopefully Netgear is hearing about this issue and looking into the problem.
I just did a factory reset of the two RBS-50 I have. I’ll report back tomorrow if that fixes the problems. 🤷🏼♂️
- I had to reset the modem again today (as a reminder, it’s *much* faster to reset the modem than Orbi, and either temporarily fixes this issue).
So, the factory resets of the satellites (following the same for the RBR-50) didn’t do the trick.
