Share your Orbi BE370/770/870/970 Series System UpTime
Found on the RBR and RBS IP address/debug.htm web page for best details, please post both RBR and RBS uptime. Please note of any inconsistencies between the RBR and RBS. Generally the RBR and RBS uptime should be same. Home wide power brown outs should be noted if these are seen. Thank you.
IPv6 Activation With Verizon FiOS
With the Orbi router (and previous Netgear routers) I found the only way to activate IPv6 is first use Auto Config. This will then default to 6to 4 Tunnel and give you a Router's IPv6 Address On LAN. Then do Auto Config and you will have IPv6. This may work on other Fiber systems. I also found for my Android phone (Galaxy S25) I needed to Enable RIPng to get IPv6 to work.Orbi RBE771 Latency issues every 60 minutes
Ever since purchasing RBE771 back in October of 2024, I have dealt with an issue where every 60 minutes exactly on the dot my internet has super high latency for 30-60 seconds, and then returns back to its normal high speeds. If I am on a Zoom call (laptop with WiFi) things get choppy and people say I am breaking up when I am speaking. If I am on my Desktop (connected via cable to the Orbi satellite) playing multi-player video games, the game gets choppy and yellow connection status icons display. I never fully disconnect, but it is extremely disruptive. I have tried for months and months on absolutely everything to try and resolve the issue, but have had no luck. I am currently on Firmware Version V10.5.18.3_2.2.37, though this issue was present in previous firmware versions as well. The satellite is 31 feet away from the base modem and router I have no Guest Network enabled. Armor is disabled. I have tried a variety of 5 GHz channels (currently using 157). I have disabled 20/40 MHz Coexistence. Traffic Meter is disabled. In the logs, there is nothing notable apart from a bunch of logs that look similar to this (without the *): [DHCP IP: (192.***.*.**)] to MAC address F0:**:**:**:**:**, Friday, May 30,2025 10:50:17 These log items don't seem to correspond with the time I see the latency issues. I am hoping someone has something else I can try to resolve this issue?Ports report 'closed' instead of 'stealth'
I just installed the RBE771/770 and ran Gibson Research's (grc.com) Shield's Up! 'port authority' scan. It reports that all ports are "closed", which means they are detectable by scans from the Internet. With my previous routers, including a previous Orbi system, GRC reported that all ports were "stealth". What do I have to do to get the RBE771 to stealth it's ports?Orbi 770 Essentially Not Working
At this point, my Orbi 770 is almost unusable. After 5 months, I started having serious problems. I can't reliably connect to my work VPN, my family is regularly seeing internet connection problems (not wifi connection problems), many web sites come back as not secure (no HTTPS) and the adult content filtering has stopped working. I factory reset the router and satellite, deleted the orbi app and it's data, then set up the router from scratch. I still have the same problems. I have an Eero router. When I switch to this router, everything works and web pages load significantly faster. Is anyone else seeing similar problems?Orbi 770 lag spikes and disconnects
Hi, I recently purchased an Orbi 770 mesh system. Unfortunately I have a virgin media 5x and as such have had to try a number of workarounds to get them both to work. Currently the Orbi router is connected to the hub via ethernet cable and the Orbi is in AP mode. I am getting decent speeds off both, better off the Orbi around the house however I have 2 issues. Even though my Sky Q main box is connected to the virgin hub via Ethernet cable Sky Q and the Sky minis keep connecting to the Orbi. Frequently the tv goes off as it loses connection to the Orbi and i have to reset the network. The other issue is when gaming on a PS5 , I have the Orbi satellite connecting to the PS5 with a cable but the PS5 constantly lags and has spikes causing issue or it just seems to stutter in game. Have tried multiple solutions and set ups but am getting frustrated with the Orbis as I thought they would be more stable unless it is the hub which is causing the issues. Does anyone have any ideas please, ThanksOrbi 770 keeps disconnecting Smart Home devices even with 2.4 GHz
Just installed the Orbi 770 with 2 satellites to completely cover the house. IoT WiFi is enabled with 2.4 GHz only. All the smart home devices (Ring cameras, Google Home, etc) when connected will have great signal and works flawlessly. But for whatever reason, the devices will disconnect randomly (usually once a day) and the network map will show that the router and satellite is working but the smart home devices will not (re)connect unless I reboot the router. How can I keep them connected? Is there an advanced setting I am overlooking or is this a defective product?
