RBR750 - Website Login "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"
I do have this problem on a number of similarly run websites. The website administrator says this is my firewall (Orbi Firmware Version V4.6.9.11_2.3.5). I can log in if I use cellular through my p...
Thanks for the reply.
- Only on three websites. Everything else is without issue. What makes me suspicious it's NOT the Orbi is that all these websites are similar databases probably not well managed.
- MacOS 12.6 Monterey. Problems on all devices (desktop, laptop).
- Began about four to six weeks ago. I haven't monitored Firmware updates. I'd purchased and installed the Orbi in June and, besides the usual initial set up teething, I have been headache free.
It would be useful to verify that the web browsers are able to resolve the URLs into actual internet IP addresses.
On Windows, I would open a command window and type the command
ping <URL> (such as ping ford.com or ping www.spectrum.com) As an example:
ping ford.com

Ping statistics for 19.12.113.37:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 73ms, Maximum = 107ms, Average = 81msNotice how the URL ford.com was resolved to 19.12.113.37.
I have networking apps on my Android devices which include various tools, but alas am completely ignorant of how to do anything on Mac or iPad.
I hadn't used ping before, but you can accomplish it on the Mac in the Terminal app.
PING ford.com (19.12.97.37): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 19.12.97.37: icmp_seq=0 ttl=244 time=64.749 msWhereas two of my problem sites give "Request timeout for icmp_seq 0".
The third site that was problematic I can now log in, and their ping appears good, like ford.com.
ah. progress.
This gives the impression that the URL for those two web sites was resolved into IP addresses, but that they do not respond to ICMP (ping). Not all web sites do.
There is probably an equivalent to the Windows nslookup command. As in:
nslookup ford.com Server: UnKnown Address: fe80::a204:60ff:fe1c:239 Non-authoritative answer: Name: ford.com.com Addresses: 45.56.79.23 96.126.123.244 45.33.2.79 45.33.23.183 45.33.30.197 72.14.178.174 198.58.118.167 45.33.20.235 45.79.19.196 173.255.194.134 45.33.18.44 72.14.185.43Orbi routers provide their own address for devices to use to resolve URLs (i.e. Orbi is a DNS server) That fe80:: is the IPv6 address of my Orbi.
If nslookup resolves your desired web site names into IP addresses, open Safari and attempt to connect directly to them using their IP address.
p.s. It is really common for prominent organizations to have more than one IP address. Netgear.com has dozens.
