Netgear Orbi RBR850 is not compatible with Apple iCloud Private Relay
My updated Apple MacBook running macOS12 (beta) is reporting my router is incompatiible with iCloud private relay. This is a new privacy feature for Apple products. I imagine Netgear is aware of this...
The RBR850 is running
V3.2.18.1_1.4.14
This issue is not yet consistantly repeatable. I received the error after applying the most recent BETA to my MacBookPro (12 Beta (21A5506j)) and upon upgrading my iPhone to iOS 15 (19A356). I received the error as a notification the first time. I have not seen that notifaction again. After power cycling the devices with Private Relay or Address enabled, the first attempt to load an uncached webpage seems to work fine, currently. Earlier, as I switched iCloud Private Relay (MacBookPro) or "Private Address" (IPhone 12) OFF and ON, I would I note network disconnects with some instances, but not with others. I gave each instance time to reconnect to the wireless network before observinbg results.
Since you saw this after applying the OSX Beta, would be something to file a feedback report to Apple about. Let them now what worked before and now it's not. You on a beta and thats Apples realm.
