NETGEAR WiFi 6 Orbi AX4200 WiFi 6 (RBS750) sometimes giving "request timed out" in cmd (windows)
Hey, I couldn't find any similair problems so I decided to make a subject myself. (For some reason I couldn't find the model while filling this in, router info is in subject). The problem is that,...
19.12.113.37This is indeed just plain wrong. If you browse this forum, there are dozens of reports of 750 series Orbi's behaving strangely.
Is it correct to assume that the ICMP (ping) tests are being done against public IP addresses (not devices on the local LAN)?
One step people often take (sort of in desperation) is to set the Orbi to use specific DNS servers rather than the ISP provided DNS.
I, myself, use CloudFlare (1.1.1.1) and Google (8.8.8.8). No specific reason. I change them from time to time just for fun.
Are the ping tests being done by URL or by IP address. i.e. ping ford.com vs. ping 19.12.113.37
I'm sure you realize that some places do not respond to ping at all. For example, try:
ping usc.edu vs ping fullerton.edu
One responds. The other "times out" because it has chosen not to respond to ICMP requests.
I see complaints about a recent firmware update on the 750 router. (not having one myself, I have not studied those posts carefully.)
