RBR50 DNS Issues
Have the Orbi RBR50 all on the latest firmware. Have reset the entire router and satellite units. DNS keeps locking up. All devices connect to the Orbi fine yet when accessing the internet it locks u...
For what its worth my traffic has been great since last night. Longest its gone in a couple weeks.
Disabling Traffic Meter in the Orbi app as well as toggling Circle (I did the toggle first) has seemed to solve my DNS problems. I have a feeling the Traffic Meter may put too much strain on the system hardware when both are enabled.
My CPU usage was higher when the Traffic Meter was enabled. (telnet into the device, type "top" and then press the number 1 to see individual core usage). Before it was hovering in the 40-50% range consistently. Now its down in the 8-20% range.
Traffic Meter needs some processing power to do it's jobs.
Glad you are experiencing better operation it and Circle disabled. Circle has been causing problems recently for Circle users.
If you need Circle support, please post over in the Circle forum:

Hopefully NG can get that fixed.
Good Luck.

Just to clarify.... Traffic Meter is Disabled and Circle is Enabled in my now working setup.
LEt us know if you experience any issues with Circle enabled. Some have had problems with it enabled. TM was disabled as well.
Probably shouldn't be saying this for fear the issue will rear it's ugly head again, but I haven't changed a thing about my setup and haven't had the problem now since 3/28. I still have Circle enabled as I always have. This is the longest I've not had the issue since mid Feb. I haven't seen anyone else posting on this issue....I'm thinking that Circle engineers have tweaked something on their end.
