Is NAT loopback supported on Netgear Orbi RBKE963
Hi all, First time posting here, nice to meet you all. I want to purchase a Netgear Orbi RBKE963 or the B (black) version. I have one specific requirement: - Does it support NAT loopback?...
The Netgear Knowledge base article does not appear to be a definitive answer to the question.
- The article was last updated 7/6/2020.
- The 960 product was announced in October, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_F2bdYRZVs
- Every model of Orbi router supports NAT Loopback, except for the models which were released after the article was last updated.
Conclusion?
- The 960 does not support NAT Loopback, which is why Netgear did not update the article, or
- Netgear is not great about updating KB articles (for understandable reasons, Covid-19 perhaps being one of them).
- With such an exhaustive list of routers supporting NAT Loopback, my intuition is, "Of course it does. They all do."
Having no 960, I cannot test the hypothesis.
- Thank you for this.
I believed the same that you do. I believe they haven't updated the KB, because surely a mesh router that is in the £1000 mark would have NAT loopback as standard.
Is there anyway for me to confirm this accurately? Calling Netgear support lines?
Thank you.There are people who participate in the forum and have the 960 product. If one of them tests NAT Loopback, I would believe their report over someone in (Kansas?) reading the same Netgear web page we found.
