Clients on Orbi Wi-Fi receive an IPv6 default gateway from an Orbi unit
I have a similar problem... My BGW320 is set to passthrough to my ORBI RBE770+2 satellites... Clients on Orbi Wi-Fi receive an IPv6 default gateway from an Orbi unit (fe80::ca10:2fff:fe40:e8a5, MAC C8:10:2F:40:E8:A5), an fd2a:7f4:ca8c::/64 ULA prefix, and an IPv6 DNS server fd2a:7f4:ca8c::1. The Orbi should not be doing this in AP mode. Samsung TVs on Orbi Wi-Fi fail Netflix (NW-2-5) and Prime Video. The same TV wired directly to the Firewalla streams fine. IPv4 is correct on both paths. No IPv6 setting is visible in the Orbi web UI in AP mode. Firmware: V12.1.7.23 How do I stop the Orbi from advertising IPv6 in AP mode?The 770 Series Sucks
I bought the 770 Series Tri-Band Wifi 7 Mesh 3-pack, and I consistently have trouble with my wifi. I often lose the signal (several times daily), and it makes it difficult to enjoy any streaming servies. I never had this problem with my old Orbi system, which I only got rid of because Netgear no longer supports it. What can I do?WiFi network will disappear suddenly, undetectable by any device in the house
I have this same issue, or very similar, with an Orbi 770 (RBE771), but the problem is at the router, not the satellite. WiFi network will disappear suddenly, undetectable by any device in the house. But I can hardwire into the Orbi router with Ethernet and connect just fine (modem and internet working perfectly). Dashboard says the WiFi status is "GOOD" but no WiFi devices can connect. This persists until the system is power cycled to reboot it. The maddening part is that it seems to happen randomly. Very frustrating.Orbi 772 backhaul through MoCa
Hi everyone, I hope someone can help point me in the right direction, because both I (and Copilot, Gemini, and ChatGPT) have run out of ideas. I recently purchased a new mesh system (Netgear Orbi 772) consisting of one router and one satellite. My internet connection is delivered to the house via fiber, and I want to distribute it through my existing coax cabling (TV antenna cables and outlets throughout the house). My setup is as follows: Fiber Modem ↓ TP-Link AC1200 Router ↓ goCoax MoCA Adapter ↓ 5-2400 MHz 6-port coax splitter ↓ goCoax MoCA Adapter (Room 1) → Orbi Router goCoax MoCA Adapter (Room 2) → Orbi Satellite The coax network is only being used to carry internet traffic. The main Orbi router works perfectly, but the satellite keeps showing as "Disconnected". It's worth mentioning that the router and satellite are too far apart to communicate wirelessly, so they must use the coax/MoCA network for backhaul. Additional information: Wi-Fi is disabled on the TP-Link router. The Orbi system is running in AP Mode. Both goCoax adapters show the expected MoCA link LEDs. I have swapped: Both Orbi units All three goCoax adapters Ethernet cables Coax ports/locations If I place the router and satellite in the same room and connect them directly via Ethernet, the satellite immediately comes online with a Wired/Good status. If I move the satellite back to the remote room and connect it through the MoCA network, it becomes Disconnected again. From my perspective, everything is connected correctly, but I clearly seem to be missing something. Has anyone experienced a similar issue with Orbi + MoCA or have any suggestions on what I should investigate next? Thanks in advance for any advice! 😊Orbi 770 satellite drops clients when IOT or Guest networks are activated
I’ve a 770 mesh system with router and one satellite. It’s V1 hardware running the latest (10.5.20.10) firmware. Repeated tests confirm that the satellite stops serving all connected clients (both wired and wireless) soon after either of the Guest or IOT networks are activated. At this time the router status page indicates that the satellite is connected (both 5ghz & 6ghz) but the connections of all satellite clients are greyed out / disconnected. This behaviour will manifest even if any of the following are done: - satellite placed within 5m of the router followed by reboot of both - satellite within 5m of router and factory reset of satellite followed by reconnection - only one of IOT / Guest networks enabled - wired clients disconnected - wifi channels changed from default Once the problem occurs the only way to recover reliable operation of the satellite appears to be to factory reset the firmware on both router / satellite and then set the system up again from scratch. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I’ve raised a bug report with Netgear but so far no response.Orbi 770 unstable
I have a relatively new 770 router and 2 satellites. It has become completely unstable, dropping satellites, dropping internet connection to provider router. Simply stopping. I’ve rebooted, I’ve done factor reset and restart . It works for a couple of days then stops. before I boot it out to the rubbish tip has anyone got any ideas
