Orbi RBR752 unstable internet, notifications come in batches
I have an Orbi mesh at home (AX4200) with the router and one satellite. I use the Netgear CM1200 cable modem. I'm on the Xfinity 1.2gbps plan, but the CM1200 limits me to 1gbps. The speed test on the...

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update?

No, but I'll do that directly. Thanks!

FYI, update was performed this morning. I'll still do the power off.

👍
I would change custome DNS back to Auto and see if you notice any changes as well.

I've turned off the router and satellite, and then the modem. As soon as the router was turned off, I got flooded with notifications from ESPN, Reddit, LinkedIn, Discord, and more. I brought up the modem first, and waited for all appropriate lights to turn solid green. Then I brought up the router, and then the satellite. I'll report back if I see any differences.

Just now, I had three notifications pop in at the same time. Two text message and an alert from my office systems. Thus, the firmware update and power-off had no effect.
I'll restore the default DNS (auto) values and try again.- FURRYe38Oct 14, 2021Guru - Experienced User
Is this the only device this is happening on?

My wife reports that her iPhone seems laggy. I also notice that my Note 20's installation of Chrome and the ESPN app both show on startup a screen that indicates network connection has been lost, then it quickly reloads and works.
And since I did the power-off/on of the CM1200 and Orbi stuff, my VPN software (Cisco AnyConnect) has disconnected and reconnected on my laptop seven times. Grrrr.
