Intermittent DNS Errors and WiFi Issues
I have had the Orbi AX6000 for a few months now. While there are many things I love about it (great wifi coverage, great speed, looks nice, software, ease of setup, etc.), there are two very frustra...
Good to hear, if only this were released earlier! I might look at rebuying the system now
I am looking forward to the release of this update for the RBR850 ans RBS850.
My problem is different from most users. I have a router (peplink Balance 20X) between my Modem (in Bridge mode) and my Orbi RBR850.
When I use the Orbi in Router mode, most things works (with occasionally the connection between the RBR850 and one of the satellite that goes down).
When I use the Orb in AP mode, the peplink does the routing and everything seems to work fine for a few hours to a few days. Then suddenly all my IoT devices cant resolve some DNS queries (Google Nest Hubs, Homepod Mini, Samsung Smart TVs, Philips Hue hub, PlayStation, ...).
Macs, iPads and iPhones works fine (except League of Legends, and a few more games...). And some device have strange problems. For example I can update the playstation but I cannot connect to the PSN.
If I switch back the Orbi in Router mode, everything start to work fine again, but I have a double NAT. I think the Orbi Router caches and/or intercepts some DNS queries and there is a bug, EVEN IN AP MODE !!
I hope this update will finally fix the problem.
Does this Pepink router have a DMZ? IF so, you can use the DMZ on this router for the Orbi in router mode...
Orbi in AP mode would not be routing or modifying any DNS. AP Mode is just data pass thru.
