Its there, devices recoqnize it, it connects after a reboot, stays connected for a few hours, then it suddenly says no internet, but its there because I stream all tv and it works fine. Im confused, I have tried everything and nothing is working. I am frustrated beyone belief with this. Can anyone help?
There is a horrible situation that started with the change in Daylight Saving Time that causes certain Orbi RBR50 routers to stop resolving Domain Names until they are restarted. Netgear engineers have traced the problem to a coding error in the Traffic Meter feature. Looks like there is abolutely no chance Netgear will release a firmware fix before April, so the easiest solution is to go into the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, Advanced Setup, Traffic Meter (toward the bottom of the menu) and uncheck "Enable Traffic Meter" and Apply.
