ORBI RBR850 -- frequent disconnects to WoW server
Suddenly for no reason, since this morning, every 15-30 minutes my connection with WoW (World of Warcraft game) drops. I get disconnected but can quickly reconnect within the minute. For context, my ...
Just wanted to chime in and say you are not alone.... I am having the same problem and it all started today. If I play any MMO or my sons play their first persons shooters the internet works for a little bit and then cuts out for a split second (but long enough to drop the server). I have been fighting it all day, I down flashed to 3.2.9 for 3.2.10 no luck. I factory reset the router, no luck. If I hook my computer up directly to the cable modem it works fine. Some thing changed and I think it was in 3.2.10 as thats what the firmware was this morning and I didnt flash it. I am not sure why down flashing to 3.2.9 doesnt help.
I am using Comcast internet with a CM1150V Modem, when I log in to the modem everything seems great. I may try having Comcast reporvision it tomorrow if no one can help with the Router issue.
My guess is that its either the WAN port connection issue or some kind of packet loss as all my other 35 smart devices aren't affected they just keep working right along like nothing happened.
"I am having the same problem and it all started today." Has the RBR worked up to this point? If so, I would think this is not a Orbi issue.
Try a factory reset on the CM modem. Power off the RBR while the CM modem resets and reconnects to ISP services, then power ON.
Using default DNS addresses from ISP or custom DNS?
