Orbi RBR50 Not Connecting
I have the RBR50 mesh system and it will not work properly after working perfectly for 2+ years. I've done the reset 5+ times and still have no luck. It says it's connected but when I go do a speed t...
I tried to update it multiple times but it says "error".
V2.7.2.104
Will do. I'm assuming I have to do the manual update?
I actually had the same problem not very long ago. Maybe 1 month. My pc - desktop or laptop - just keeps getting disconnected and I'm hardwired via ethernet cat5e. From same machine, I cannot connect to wifi. On the other room, family can watch and stream on roku or use their laptops. I switched ethernet cables - same problems. I bought new cables (cat6) and same results. I downgraded the firmware to last version and same results. I also did a 30-30-30 reset on the router and satellites later, and did a configuration from scratch. It got a little better even after upgrading the firmware to current, which I had before. I really think it's the router.
Why so? I cannot get to router via the mobile app or desktop via 192.168.1.1 (or other means on this KB article - https://kb.netgear.com/31142/Why-can-t-I-access-orbilogin-com-or-orbilogin-net). It's been like this for a couple of weeks now. and hwile the network is all working, i cannot get to router. I force a reset (power off) it just sends me for hours of downtime getting it back connected.
I bought a new one (same model so I don't have to buy new satellites). just need find time to install now that it's arrived. This is the shortest lived router I've had having issues, coming from a Asus RT-56U that served me for at least twice as long, and it had USB connection ability to a hard drive to treat it like a NAS - a feature thought to come on Orbi but never did.
