RBR750 turns to waiting status everyday
Hello all, My RBR750 disconnects to the internet every morning. It shows "Waiting" for "Internet Status" on Orbi WebUI. I will need to click on "Test" button to regain the internet access which ...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What CAT# lan cable are you using between the RBR and modem?
Is IPv6 enabled on the RBR or disabled?

I will need to click on "Test" button to regain the internet access which is very annoying.
I thought that this could be DHCP leasing related. then I did assign a fixed IP to my router (Advanced->Setup->Internet Setup->Internet IP Address->Use Static IP Address); and ensure the same fixed IP was listed on DHCP reservation List on my modem (Actiontec T3200M).
However, the problem still exsits. Any thoughs?
Btw, RBR750's log is a joke. Nothing there; But I keep getting the following in modem's log: "ICMPv6 RA: ndisc_router_discovery() failed to add default route."
Not sure if this is related to the issue or not.

The Actiontec T3200M is a modem/router combo device. It causes a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.
