UPnP send/receive on RBR850 stops at MAXINT
I have already posted this but on the wrong forum (regular Orbi). I use a software called PeakHour to monitor internet traffic from my Mac. It uses UPnP to obtain this information from the router...
I'm now on V4.6.8.2_2.1.9.
I had encountered this article: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/netgear-fixes-bad-orbi-firmware-update-that-locked-admin-console/. This article points to a thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/uq57b3/my_orbi_access_is_restored_without_factory_reset/i8rleeo/?context=3
So I sent a DM to Christine from Netgear and indeed, a new firmware version was pushed towards my Orbi. All working fine now.
EDIT: spelling.
I use PeakHour on a Mac to inform me about data traffic. After a while it drops to 0. It very much seems the same issue as has been reported before: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/X6-R8000-UpNp-or-snmp-monitoring/m-p/1816959, but that's a post from 2019.
PeakHour provides a FAQ page to detect if the information over uPnP suffers from counter freeze: http://support.peakhourapp.com:8090/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5603403
As can be seen in the attached screenshot, this seems to be a text book case: it reports EXACTLY max_int for an unsigned 32 bits integer: 4294967295
This seems to be a bug in the router.
P.S.: I could NOT find the model in the model drop down list box; I hope this is the correct forum. Information about model/firmware:
Hardware Version RBR850
Firmware Version V4.6.3.16_2.0.51
GUI Language Version V3.0.1.2_2.1.30.3
Operation Mode Router
