ORBI crashes with 10gb nic

RBR50

I have a few devices with 10Gb nics that support 10/5/2.5/1 Gbps 10/100mbps

 

The Orbi will work fine for a day then completely lock up and crash if one of these devices is plugged in
I have older routers that are probally 5 years old consumer level 1Gbps that have no issues with these devices

Re: ORBI crashes with 10gb nic

Can you manually configure the speed of the 10Gb NIC for 1000mb FDX?

Whats the Mfr and model of this 10Gb NIC?

 

I presume these 10Gb NICs are the issue and need to be looked at. Most current Orbi devices only support 1Gb connections and 1Gb supporting devices.

Re: ORBI crashes with 10gb nic

If just the nics had issues I would agree - but a complete shut down should not happen regardless

its not the nics they are performing at the correct speed - I also use them to test other office/home equpment big and small networks never once have they brougth down an entire network or presented a problem of any kind - which is only happening with the orbi

I also have $20 routers that are 5 years old that have no issue with them

Did you try and manually set 1Gb connection speeds on these NICs? 

What is the Mfr and Model# of these NICs? 

 

Something you might contact NG support about. If these are the only NICs causing this and happens with the Orbi, then there maybe a compatiblity issue between them.
