RBR50 intermittent DNS lookup issues
I have RBR50 (Firmware V2.7.2.104), with one RBS50 satellite, connected to a CM1000v2 cable modem, Comcast ISP. Starting 3/14, I sporadically get DNS lookup errors. I've tried setting DNS servers t...
Also check your NTP settings. Make sure they are correct and test the DST option to make sure the time is correct.
I changed from "Use NETGEAR NTP Server" to time.nist.gov
Will see what happens. If i still have issues, will factory reset this evening and let you know.
Thanks for the help.
Changing NTP server did not help. The problem recurred again this morning. Will try factory reset tonight.
Yet another reason to dump DST...
Steps to solve the ongoing DNS Lookup issues for all Negear Orbi modules as a result of a Netgear developer introducing a Cobal /Y2000 Daylight Savings Bug 3/14/2021:
1. Full Netgear Orbi Factory Reset
2. Uncheck Advanced>Administration>NTP Settings>Automatically adjust for daylight savings time
3. Update to firmware V2.6.2.104
BTW it took me 3 days with Spectrum Support, a Sectrum Truck rolled to check the cables, a new Sectrum Modem, all new cables - to finally determine it was a Netgear Orbi Daylight Savings Y2k bug!!!!!!!!!!
I did factory reset yesterday afternoon, around 1:30pm.
Firmware 2.7.2.104
I changed NTP to time.nist.gov
Automatically adjust for DST is checked
DSN 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4
So far, so good.

Nice
Lets hope it all works out for you.
Does it matter that my Orbi is 1 hr behind?
It is not set to adjust for DST automatically and did not. It has been working fine.
