RBR50 - rebooting daily after internet via wifi drops
(Originally posted to wrong forum; sorry) Since the latest firmware update (2.7.2.104) I've been rebooting daily. Phone connects w/o internet, some devices connect, some have no connection. I've ha...
This appears related to the recent DNS/NTP issue. The router appears to lose the ability to relay DNS requests on any FW version.
To confirm, try to set the DNS on your laptop or phone to something other than the router. No need to roll back.

roll your firmware back

- Dropping internet after (2.7.2.104) firmware.
Have been reading posts:
- NTP to right timezone
- Auto adjust for Daylight savings time unchecked
- Preferred NTP server set to time.nist.gov
Also manually reset RBR50 (running in AP mode -- so no traffic meter to turn off). And manually reset both RBS50 (also running 2.7.2.104).
- Turned everything off 90+ seconds
- Turned Comcast router on first and waited for full connection and then restarted Orbis starting with main unit
Any other ideas ...
- Did notice Dynamic DNS is off but that's factory standard????
- Thanks for the suggestion. So far it's been running uninterrupted for over 24 hours after adopting the NTP fix (untick automatic DST compensation & change time zone one to the east.) Keeping my fingers crossed!
Same issue here, was driving me nuts with reboots to modem and router. Didn't seem to happen right after firmware update so didn't really seem to trigger that as being the culprit. I did the DST suggestions, hope that takes. With kid and wife working from home and having interviews coming up reliabe Internet would be nice. Since making these changes are you still good?
