Orbi 770, ipv6, Gigaclear - works then drops
I'm trying to get my Orbi 770 to have a stable ipv6 connection with my ISP Gigaclear. Initially it works, then it doesn't. The Orbi 770 is running Firmware Version V10.5.20.10_2.2.51 My connection to Gigaclear is via a new DKT Comega ONT. I have a static IPv4 address from Gigaclear. On the Orbi web UI, I have these IPv6 settings: Internet Connection Type: Auto Config DHCP User Class: blank DHCP Domain Name: blank Router's IPv6 Address On WAN: Not Available Use These DNS Servers: Primary DNS 2606:4700:4700:0000:0000:0000:0000:1111 (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1) Secondary DNS 2620:00FE:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:00FE (9.9.9.9) LAN Setup Router's IPv6 Address On LAN 2a06:61c0: etc etc IP Address Assignment: Auto Config Enable RIPng (off) Use This Interface ID: blank IPv6 Filtering: Secured My Windows 11 PC, connected via ethernet to one of the Orbi Satellites 1. Gets a proper IPv6 address 2. Scores 10/10 on https://test-ipv6.com/ My Samsung S25, connecting via wifi 7 or 6 or 5 1. Gets a proper IPv6 address 2. Scores 10/10 on https://test-ipv6.com/ Even my Linux VM scores 10/10. But then after some hours (more than 4 less than 24), the IPv6 fails and the https://test-ipv6.com/ scores become 0/10 on all devices. I've spoken to Gigaclear. The person on the phone was not aware of any special settings or issues. They are passing this to network engineers. Can this be fixed? I've tried: 1. Turning on / off everything 2. Changing Internet Connection Type: Auto Config DHCP User Class: blank to Internet Connection Type: DHCP DHCP User Class: 1 For a while it works, then it doesn't.Orbi 773 versus 773v2?
I bought an Orbi 773 at BestBuy today. To prep, I downloaded the user manual and also the firmware in case the unit I bought isn't up to date (although I assume it will auto-update on initial setup, I still like to have the firmware files local). Noticed there is different firmware versions for the 773 and 773v2. What is the difference between the v1 and v2 models and how do I tell which one I have? On the bottom of the 771 router the model states just RBE771 so I assume it's the original v1 and not the v2? Is this noted anywhere else? Should I care? ... are there important hardware/firmware performance and stability differences in the v2 and therefore I should return the v1 and purchase a v2 straight from Netgear's site? I tried searching on this topic but didn't find anything. Would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks in advance!Wifi Drops my printer within minutes
I have a new Orbi 770 mesh. 50 plus devices running on the network but my brother printer HL-L2370DW constantly drops offline. I have updated all firmware on printer and orbi devices. I have rebooted the Orbi mesh and printer several times. I set up a static IP of 192.168.1.2 for the printer, which shows up on Orbi for a few minutes but as soon as I boot up my printer I have only minutes of use, then it drops off line. I have attached screen shot of the issue. Please help.771 mesh router and satellite - no seamless transitions
I have the 77X mesh router and satellites, and whenever I move from upstairs (where the main router is) to ground floor (satellite location), my phone ‘s wifi disconnects and takes a long time to reconnect (I often just forget the network and reconnect with password, otherwise it takes more than 5 mins). I have the latest firmware and this issue has existed for a long time and was hoping that latest firmware would fix it permanently, but so far no luck. I never had this issue with an older wifi 5 mesh from Orbi, but this wifi 7 mesh has been consistently VERY unreliable.Web site Accessibility...Orbi BE systems
Anyone noticing any issues with accessing visited web sites with a wireless or wired PC connecting to Orbi systems with newest FW version loaded? Looking for anything in particular that stands out with seeing any 404 Errors or ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED in a browser. Seen across other browsers? http://printables.com maybe one site. Any other sites that is giving issues, please post the details and site URL. ISP DNS or custom DNS used. IPv6 enabled or disabled. ISP service hardware details as well. Thank you.
