Orbi Router dropping Wired connection
Ran my Orbi router over 6 months with no problems. 3 days ago, I could not get any pcs (windows 10)/macs to connect to wired connection. All the wireless connections are rock solid. I tried reboot...
Dude, your network configuration is orders of magnitude more complex than mine. I only had the Orbi router on and all my wired/wireless devices were connected only to it (wired devices via a switch). I did contact support and they remoted into my setup and fixed it somehow. I suspect some firmware was updated. Since then, I am back to working flawlessly. My Orbi router is the DHCP server. I'm no expert, but if you need to change MAC addresses to get things to work, there might be more than 1 DHCP server on your network. Good luck ...
Glad you're working again, that's the most important part. :)
