Netgear RBS850 still keeps going magenta
So I reported this previously (but hell if I can find the previous posting). I have an RBS850 orbi solution with one satellite. It is over a year old (so has hardware support but bugger anything else...
Firmware on the orbi is V4.6.14.3_2.3.12, which is apparently the latest release.
The service provider (TPG here in Australia) is a HUAWEI Home Gateway HG659 for Fibre to the Premises (FTTP).
The cable is the provided cable with the orbi router.
Yes I have powered off both the provider modem, the orbi router and the satellite as that is the only way to resolve the issue. It then can operate for a day, some days or even weeks without recurring....but it does and will still recur.
To add a little more. It has now happened again at least 3 times today. What I have noted is that the wired seems to be working but can be a little flaky. Mostly it seems to be DNS related.
I've also noted that the netgear itself seems to flick between "waiting" and "not connected" all throughout things are working but not quite working properly. there is slowness and errors when trying to get to things. most things work....
I'm about to reboot everything for the fourth time today. Hopefully it settles after that.
