Orbi RBS850 - piece of crap
Like many others, I am having nothing but problems with my Orbi RBS850 router.
I can configure the router fine and it works great, unless I try to block a device. After I block a device, the router works fine initially, but then it becomes problematic and starts blocking other devices and becomes unresponsive to accessing the routers login.
The only work around that I have found at this point is to reset the router. Which I have done approximately 12 times over the past 3 months.
All I want to do is limit my sons xbox access.
I could easily block/limit his access using my previous router. I really regret purchasing such an expensive piece of garbage.
Netgear should be ashamed!

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
