Intermittent DNS lookup failures on RBR850
Intermittent DNS lookup failures RBR850 I've been using the Orbi RBR850 for several months now and I'm constantly having issues with DNS that I've NEVER experienced with any other router I've ever u...
Good advice, FURRYe38!
I followed the steps to enable ipv6: (pilfering some of the text in the links post, thanks to mstrbig:
login to orbilogin.com Advanced, Advanced, IPv6. I setup the following:
6to4 Tunnel, Remote 6to4 relay Router set to "Auto", IPv6 Domain Name Server (DNS) Address set to "Use These DNS Servers". I chose Cloudflare's IPv6 DNS Servers. IP Address Assignment set to "Auto". T
I tested using test-ipv6-com and it is now getting a score of 16. What I can't get past is this:
"Your router or firewall is filtering ICMPv6 messages sent to your computer. An IPv6 host that cannot receive ICMP messages may encounter problems like some web pages loading partially or not at all."
I am using Zonealarm free firewall and it is set to allow for ipv6 networking, but not sure why that message is being generated.
The bottom line, though, is that the original DNS issues are gone, no more 404 errors, or page load errors.

Try disabling ZoneAlarm and just use Windows Defender, and see if the firewall error goes away.
I disabled ZoneAlarm free firewall completely, and the problem remains the same. Test results:
"Your router or firewall is filtering ICMPv6 messages sent to your computer. An IPv6 host that cannot receive ICMP messages may encounter problems like some web pages loading partially or not at all."
Still have had no issues loading pages!
Anyone with a 8 series Orbi having this problem wanna give this a try?
Ging to have a look at this once my other hal has finished work (Don't want to annoy her). I saw it earlier but noticed it is not showing as available in the ORBI's GUI yet. TBH since turning on 6to4 tunneling the connection has been mostly stable. Any idea what the device notification feature is?
Don't know what that is all about. Soon as I get mine loaded up and see what I can find out.
