Orbi RBR20 Losing Configuration
About once a month, for the last three months, including this morning, I lose my internet connection on all devices. It's working one day, and during the night, it goes out (I'm woken by the lights o...
OP here.
This weekend I took the advice of this thread and things I had learned, and have resolved the issue.
1) I didn't use the mobile app. I used an ethernet connected PC, and using Firefox, I connected to orbilogin.com. I had wasted lots of time at the beginning of this trying to use Chrome - which refuses to login correctly, and had to find in a forum that Chrome doesn't work. Would be nice if NG would fix that BUG.
2) I downloaded both of the new .48 firmware zip files (one for the Satellites, one for the router) and extracted the .img files).
3) I installed the satellite firmware updates first. Tedious doing three separate installs, but no problems.
4) I installed the router firmware update. No problems. I downloaded a backup config after all the updates for safekeeping.
After restarting everything, it all works. No issues at all. In fact I'm getting better connection on one of the daisy-chained satellites than before the update.
I'm ready to call this case closed. Thanks all.
I started having the exact same issue with my RBR20 on v2.2.1.210 around Mid-March as well. I had been running that version since close to its release date and never had any issues with it. Upgrading to v2.3.0.28 did not resolve the issue. I'm waiting on a RMA replacement router and then when update it to v44 to see if it is more stable.
I find it very interesting though that this issue cropped up for several of us around the same time. Could it be a exploit was discovered in the 2.2.1.210 firmware and someone finally figured out how to use it to affect our systems????
It is interesting that some users with the 20 series are experiencing this issue all of a sudden. Some have got it working with v44, if not, hopefully the RMA will be the end of it.
