Which NETGEAR Cable Modem is Best for High-Speed Streaming and Gaming?
Hey everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my current setup and would love some advice. I'm particularly interested in a NETGEAR cable modem that can handle high-speed internet for heavy streaming and gaming. Reliability and performance are key for me, but I'm also curious if there are any models with additional features like built-in Wi-Fi or future-proofing for faster internet plans. Any recommendations on which NETGEAR modem I should go for? Thanks in advance!RBR50 out of nowhere is losing connectivity 5-7 random times a day
So, I am relatively technical and out of nowhere by Orbi Mesh has lost its mind. Spent two weeks with Spectrum to make sure everything is perfect between the Node and my House and then with Spectrum Maintenance to make sure the Node and Upstream is fine. I share a node with my neighbor, and he has had zero issues....so it appears to be my Orbi out of the blue. No new devices added or removed and no changes. What firmware is loaded on the RBR and RBS? Firmware is V2.7.5.6 What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Brand New Spectrum Charter Modem - Model ET2251 / DOCSIS 3.1 eMTA What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected. Nothing changed of course, but 3,000. Each Orbit is on its own floor, 2nd, Main, Basement and for 4 years has worked flawlessly and yes more than 30 ft apart of course. Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF? Mmmm...I have not been able to try that as my wife works on the Main Floor and her only access is Wireless and she can't get a single from the RBR from my second floor office....but on the weekend I can try this if nothing else. Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices? Yes - my work laptop is hard wired to RBR What channel configurations are currently set on the router? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz. Nothing changed....but 2.4Ghz is Auto and 5GHz is 48 - how is is possible that Auto for years worked on 2.4 and now this is my issue...can adjust I guess, but a bit lost on this one.

I just spent $400 on a new Netgear Nighthawk router only to find out it has the same problem as the old out of service RAX43 router. If it’s a Windows issue, I don’t think MS is too interested in fixing it. After all they would rather sell their cloud storage, One Drive. I would imagine that Netgear would have more of an interest in finding a fix as Readyshare only adds to the valve of the router. I am using One Drive more than I am using Readyshare, since my Readyshare access is undependable and random. But it isn’t just the Readyshare access that disconnects, it is also the access to the Router’s setting page. That may be why Netgear is now selling the idea of using an Android app instead of a PC.IPV6 no connection RBR 850
I called my ISP and they confirmed I have an ipv6 connection available from them on a fiberoptic connection to my Orbi RBR 850 which will not transmit ipv6 to my network and when I run an online ipv6 test it confirms not connected. RBR 850 firmware v7.2.7.15, I just read on the netgear site this firmware is a problem for ipv6 and to set back the firmware to a previous version. I have checked my router settings many times in the advance ipv6 settings, currently set to DHCP any thoughts from anyone who has experienced problems with ipv6 connection issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Printer behind ORBI not found
Dear friends, I have a standard configuration, with a WiFi modem from my Telco provider in the basement, and an (RBR50) ORBI access point (set-up as Router) in my kitchen. Both have a different SSID. All works well, but my Epson app can't find my printer, even if I give it its IP address. I read somewhere that the app sends an "mDNS/Bonjour" message to the printer(s) on the home-network, but that the ORBI might block this message ? How can I fix this ? Thanks for your help & advise !
