Orbi RBK53S having blocking outgoing connections from Synology NAS
Guys I need some help, I've recently been suffering with a problem whereby my Synology NAS (DS918+) is unable to access the internet (to update DDNS data, etc) This has worked fine for 9 months but ...
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AC products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you.
Today Netgear has replied to me with:
As per the engineers the issue was caused by BD agent incorrectly handling some of the packets. Let us know if you have any other concerns or clarifications.
I have replied to them saying:
So does that mean the issue should be fixed for all Synology DSM7 users now? If so do you want me to check with the other users who were affected and also tell Synology? Should I be okay to go back to using LAN1 on the NAS?
I am waiting on their reply.- Hard to imagine a less useful response. What is a BD agent? Did they fix the software?
It was looking like the issue was with Bitdefender Armor as toggling that off / on (On the Orbi) immediately fixed the problem for me.
I assume BD agent is 'Bitdefender Agent' part of the RBK53S Armor system.
