Connection Failure on Speed Test

I did a facory reset of my system about two weeks ago and loaded the new firmware for the system which seems to be working better. I have been able to perform spped tests on the system through the Orbi app on my Iphone until today. I keepo getting a connection failure error. I have rebooted both the modem and router and I am still having the same issue.

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

Same problem from yesterday to me. I have used IOS app without any problem and also if I try to do the speed test from the Web access (Orbilogin) and I receive the same error.

 

I have uninstall the app & install it again in my iphone & ipad but the same error appears.

I have tried too a android smartphone and same problem.

 

On the other hand, I have had also a magent ligth in my router today, hopefully I fixed it.

 

Last firmware installed. (v2.0.0.56)

 

Thanks

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

I would notify NG support. Maybe something going on on with the app. Maybe due for an update.

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

The modem router is connected too in bridge mode.
Model MitraStar GPT-2541GNAC (HGU) from MOVISTAR (Spain).
The problem is with the Orbi app on IOS & Android (both)
The problem is also in orbilogin.com in the advance setting > speed test.
Note that the error stated yesterday, previously worked fine in all systems

Thanks

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

You'll need to contact NG support and ask about this.

 

Good Luck.

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

Wow, it appears that there is a problem with the app and I am not the only person having app problem.

 

I called support before I posted my app problem.  But, they said they will get back with me in one to two days.  So, I thought I'd ask in the commmunity forum.

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

Speed test fail ,I changed cable , rebooted , confirm updates, when you pay $500, you don't expect problems in less than 8 months, thank god for the community, all manufacturer suck with service.

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

I’m also having same error (connection failure) with the speed test on the Orbi App on my iPhone but when I use the OOKLA app, it’s works fine. I’ve just updated to latest firmware v2.1.3.4 a few days ago. Seems to be an app issue. I also tried rebooting router a couple time with no luck.

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

I have had the same issue since at least 4/9/18 and I've also restarted the router, swapped the cable, connected the router to a different ISP, and upgraded my firmware to 2.1.3.4 (which for some reason the Orbi couldn't autoupdate to. I've attempted to open a ticket and was told that the appropriate teams would be informed. I also tried sending a tweet which has so far been ignored. It seems like Netgear is having an outage to the service that provides the speed test OOKLA, but it's difficult to fully determine the cause of the issue. Nevertheless, it would be nice if someone on their side actually resolved the issue prompty. Please feel free to retweet to try to get some attention for this issue. https://twitter.com/bokonon_tweets/status/983722281519099905.

I don’t think it’s firmware related. We’re all seeing the problem on all fw versions. Almost certainly on the NG back end.

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

I received a full response from Netgear support. They are aware that their connection to OOKLA is down and they are working on it. Full message below.

Thanks for contacting NETGEAR Support.
The speedtest service used by our Orbi Router appears be down at the moment. We are currently working with Ookla on resolving this, and hope for it to be resolved as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience.

No connection under Speed Test!  What do I do?  How do I connect my phone to test my Orbi?

Re: Connection Failure on Speed Test

Same deal here - just installed new Orbi RBK50 system and IOS app for Speed Test does not work off my iPhone 7.    Hopefully NG has this fixed.  Other than that, this is a sweet setup.
