RBRE960 - Intermittent Connectivity Issues
I have two (2) Proxmox hosts. Each host is connected to my network (172.20.73.0) via a wireless NIC (I tried wired and had the same problem) and I am using NAT and MASQUERADE. On each Proxmox host, I...
If I understood support correctly, they are having a known issue with the RDP protocol on the RBRE series. Engineering is working on a fix; however, the agent was not sure of the ETA. The best guess is Q1 of 2024.
I am going to return this system and stick with the ASUS ZenWiFi Pro XT12. It has worked flawlessly, is much more feature rich (much better software), and, about half the price of the Orbi system.
I will say I do appreciate Netgear products and cannot speak negative about the company. I had great success with my RBR50 system, as well as, many other Netgear products over the years. Support and engineering from Netgear on this issue was quite good. I didn't spend much time in lower levels nor did I have to repeat my story repeatedly. The team worked very collaboratively with me and were always extremely polite and calm.
I did change from a 192.168.1.0 network to 172.20.73.0 network to avoid conflicting with more common networks (for when I VPN). Does Orbi get confused with 172 networks?
192.168 shouldn't be conflicting with any VPN networks. VPN should auto avoid and configure networking that's not on same subnet as 192.168.1.x. You can also try using 192.168.0.1 as well. What I use.
I'd try the default subnet setting on the 960 to see if it works if you had been using that before on your prior Orbi system.
172 should work as well as it's a private subnet for home use.
