Intermittent DNS lookup failures on RBR850
Intermittent DNS lookup failures RBR850 I've been using the Orbi RBR850 for several months now and I'm constantly having issues with DNS that I've NEVER experienced with any other router I've ever u...
I dont want to speak too soon, but I think I have cracked it. I have been running for 24hours without a DNS failure. My current setup.
Virgin Superhub 3ac in modem mode. RBR850 in router mode (Factory reset). Crucially I changed DNS to Google DNS on router and in advanced IPV6 settings, instead of selecting disabled, I changed it to Auto detect. Once applied this then changed to 6to4. Now I knoe for a fact my ISP do not support IPV6, so I dont know why this has worked. However, it seems to be working well at the moment.
I have said this before, but this is genuinely the longest I have had it running in router mode without a hitch. Try it, and let me know how you get on. I will be feeding this info back to the devs/technicians

This was already Posted above. It works because when changing to 6to4 tunnel, it provides a tool for transmitting IPv6 packets using such a prefix over global IPv4 networks. This stops the timeouts in translation.
Yes, this was more of a confirmation for Virgin Media users. Virgin Media used to traffic manage 6to4 traffic to the point where it was crippled, and yes I also mentioned it before in one of my previous posts but in a slightly different trouble shooting configuration. Hopefully though, it just helps people out a little.
Also I hadnt read your post about it earlier. Sorry :)
