SRR60 internet connection locks up (no connection) intermittently
My Orbi Pro SRR60 has started intermittantly (about once or twice a day), suddently losing its connection on the WAN side and reporting no internet connection.
It is plugged into a Nokia Telus Fibre modem with a very good quality CAT 8 cable (which was upgraded from a CAT 5e when this issue started to appear). It started to do this recently, so maybe related to the recent 2.6.2.200 firmware that was recently applied.
If I simply unplug and replug the ethernet between the Fibre modem and the SRR60, then it will recover within a few seconds - however, it does not seem to be able to do this itself. It will stay in the disconnected state, even then I click the error message in the admin interface (the Internet box on the Home screen). It seems to need the phys link to be dropped to handshake properly again.
Obviously, any clues would be gratefully received.

Thanks. Yes, this works every time, but I'm rather hoping to avoid having it go offline several times a day as it is very disruptive, and I have some things that need to run unattended.
I'd love to know how to diagnose this further so I can raise a bug ticket or something (and/or preferably find a fix of course).
Hi Skyflash
Could you please send the debug logs from satellite and router separately to me via PM?
1.https://<ip address of your router/satellite>/debug.htm
2. Click on start capture
3. Recreate the issue.
4. Save debug logs.
Upload the debug logs from router and satellite onto google/One drive and send me link via PM
Thanks,
Raghu
I am seeing the same issue with my SRR60 with the latest firmware as well... I am connecting to a Hiltron CODA-4582U Cable Modem/Router
Folllowing up on this, at this point the Router doesn't stay online for for more than 15-20 min at a time. At this point the Router and 3 satellites are basically useless to me.
Where would you like me to upload the debug files?
I tried attaching them, but not having any luck
I've been having the same issue. I update the firmware ands the internet conenction has randomly died over and over again. Verizon finally let me get info from one of the engineers. I had been noting that their lease time was only 2 hours for a WAN DHCP address, and I thought that was odd. They confirmed that their lease time is longer than that. This makes me fairly certain that it's an issue with the current firmware. I've downgraded it to an older version.
Fingers crossed.
Same issue here as well.
Another botched up firmware release from Netgear......Fire the engineers ....
That said, I know for a fact that the ISP is fuctioniong just fine.
It is something to do with how the router handles how it connects to the Web.
This is now two really bad releases of firmware.. TWO.....from what I see on this community page is that there is a lot of time invested into PC Plumbing....on bad firmware......
I would suggest is downgradeing to the previous release until the so called Engineers come up with a fix.....
Same issue here. The only thing that got me working was to roll back to v2.5.5.100 anything 2.6.x.x breaks the connection. It drops the DNS servers. You can still ping the web such as Google's 8.8.8.8, but can't resolve the pages because it breaks access to DNS. I also noticed a large number of dropped packets that stopped once I rolled back to the 2.5 firmware.
- Since the upgrade to version 2.6.2.200 last week, the internet connection locks up. I have had to unplug the modem and router every morning which solves the problem. Getting old though and I’ll have to go back to the previous version if there is not a fix soon.
