Orbi 850 Can't get anyone to help at Netgear
Hope that anyone has some advice. I have an ORBi 850 that I purchases on 12/26/21. My original unit was not working and was able to replace it at Best Buy after a week of trouble shutting with tech s...
I was able to return in back to Best Buy.
I would try another. You may have had a bad unit out of the box.
- I did o got the RBKE960 but now o have a different problem. The unit is dropping internet service with the Xfinity router set to the bridge mode.
CTS is set to 2347 Domain server set use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Channel set Auto, 48,101. I have latest firmware. Domain and password personal settings Rest is set to factory original settings.
All works great in double router mode.
As soon as I turn on the bridge mode on the Xfinity router my interned starts dropping. Loose connection to all devices as well as the application message under the internet block under basic starts shifting from good, waiting to error/no internet.
Any recommendations?Is there a front LED on the RBR thats PINK when you bridge the ISP Modem?
Be sure after you bridge the modem and it's back to ready, power OFF the ISP Modem and RBR for 1 minute. Then back ON with the modem first, then RBR.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable beween the modem and RBR. CAT6 is recommended.
Also try to disable ALL wifi radios on the modem while in router mode, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
- So my current setup is rbke960 to the first satellite cat8 second satellite wireless.
Quick question why is everything stable in double router environment and not in the bridge mode
