RBR50 v2.5.2.4 + Circle v2.1.8.9 = intermittent network dropouts/failures disconnections

Team,

My RBR50 has been running fine for +1 years, a couple of days ago I activated Circle (after upgrading the router firmware to v2.5.2.4.

 

Now my internet connection drops intermittently and frequently.

 

If I turn off Circle, all is good again.

 

I see the forums this has been a known issue for some time, but why doesn't the latest firmware fix this issue?

 

Regards

Michael

  • Team,

     

    I logged case 43584822, got through to level 1 support, was then switched to Circle support, tried to press 1, but call disconnected. The level 1 tech confirmed my mobile - I'm expecting a call back.

     

    regards

    Michael

        Actually, I do not know what is going on with that case, because....

         

        1 - I've received 2 emails saying that its waiting for my response, but (a) there is no updates from Netgear I can see (I can only mine) and (b) the emails don't say what specifically they want from me.

         

        2 - At one point the case was marked resolved, but it didn't explain how it was resolved.

         

        3 - Also there are no clear instructions on how OpenDNS is set up.

         

        I've attached a screenshot of what my case looks like on from my viewpoint, please explain where Netgear's updates are viewed, because I cannot see them.

         

        regards

        Michael

  • Hi Folks,

     

    This month I switched from Apple Airport extreme/cable modem service to RBR50 v2.5.2.4 with one RBS v2.5.2.4 and Circle V2.1.8.9. I switched to a 500 Mb/s Verizon FIOS service and opted not to use the Verizon router. From the garage, I pick up the RJ45 connection off the ONT and connect to a MoCA Motorola MM1000 to leverage the COAX connection up the second floor, where another MoCA Motorola converts the signal back from coax to ethernet, where I plug to the RBR50. I rely on the 5G backhaul to connect to the RBS50 that sits on the first floor connected to my AppleTV. We are a large family of 20+ devices (MacBook Pro, iPads, iPhones, iWatch, AppleTV, Chromebooks, HP gaming PC, CISCO VOIP phone, etc.) connecting either through WIFI (mainly 5G) or wired (VoIP phone, MacBook Pro). Everything worked great upload/downloads speed avg 530Mb/s; however, in the last couple of days, the RBR50 started losing internet service. In the log (see excerpt below), I can see internet disconnects and reconnect, and internet status changes from Good to Waiting.

    • I had Verizon reset the connection but not sure this is a permanent fix.
    • I also found this post about resetting RBR50/RBS50 to factory default. I have not tried this because I am not sure if this a provider (Verizon) issue or Orbit Netgear issue?
    • Does anyone know if either firmware V2.6.1.40 or V2.7.1.60 on the Netgear support website address this issue? The release notes do not give enough information? 

    Thanks
