Some issues I've experienced with RBK852
So, have been using the ORBI RBK852 Router + Satellite since November now and I’ve ONLY had issues with it. Is anyone over at Netgear working on anything to fix this?! 1. I have issues connecting ...
Nope, not a single fix.
I've factory reset everything a few days ago, redownloaded the app. But it fixed nothing. Been trying to play CoD online but becuase I get kicked out becuase of server disconnection every 10-15min I gave up on playing with friends online until next fw.
Do you have your prior router by chance?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
You might try downgrading FW to v3.1...
I am going to reconnect the RBK50 today after work hours are done.
See if that helps.
Ok, keep us posted.
This users says this seems to work to get the Orbi AX working:
- Okay, so posted in another thread about this yesterday that I unplugged my RBK852 and have gone back to RBK50. Everything is working again but obviously I’m not seeing the great speeds of the ax system. Been a drop of about 300Mbps sadly.
BUT, as I wrote in my first post about my PlayStation having to reconnect to WiFi every single time I turn it off or put it in rest mode. With the RBK50, it’s now gone, so it IS an issue with the RBK852, it does something to confuse the PS4.
I’ve had that problem since I bought the RBK852 so the previous FW for it (the one that was end of 2019) is also broken. Like how far back should I go when downgrading tonight?! And won’t it just update automatically like everyone on here is saying it will? Am I still f*ked when it comes to using my PS4? It’s a big deal cause I use it for Hulu, Netflix, plex and gaming.
