Intermittent DNS Errors and WiFi Issues
I have had the Orbi AX6000 for a few months now. While there are many things I love about it (great wifi coverage, great speed, looks nice, software, ease of setup, etc.), there are two very frustra...
The ER-X isn't too bad for users to setup though I agree can be complex. Though out of the box the ER-X works well. Only thing I had to do is enable HW NAT so it would work on 1Gb WAN to LAN. After that, it's a solid router. I used mine for past 6 months doing heavy downloads of software builds.
I'm by no means an expert from a networking standpoint and don't really want to have to do my own coding. Just looking for a stable router that will work with the Orbi where I can do things like static IP, port forwarding, etc. Oh...and DNS service that works...that would be good. Any other experiences out there that have worked? Thanks!
Until NG fixes this, most any other router will work. Even NG R series routers will work and put the Orbi AX in AP mode behind a different router with it's wifi disabled. Or try the IPv6 6to4 configuration as mentioned by Mstrbig. I have done this as well had have not seen any problems.
If you haven't submitted a support ticket, I would recommend you do so, so NG knows more of you are having problems with this and they need to address this.
Good Luck.
