Netgear RBR850 - trouble with Port Forwarding
I just set up an Orbi 850 series Router / Satellite system in my home. The basics all work, I have Internet, Wi-Fi is working, etc. Model Name Device Name Current Firmware Version RB...
Finally figured this out - it was a DNS issue, specifically related to IPv4 & IPv6.
When I installed the new router, I rebooted my cable modem as a part of the process. When this happened, my home IP changed - for both v4 and v6. I caught the v4 change, and updated my Public DNS records, so it worked from the outside world for any device using IPv4, but not v6. Once I realized what happened, I updated my DNS records for v6 as well, and everything is working again.
It wasn't an issue with the router itself, so much as an issue that came up while installing it with other systems
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
There a router at the ISP Modem/ONT by chance?
Had this worked prior to installing the Orbi system?
