Firewalla Gold Pro & RBE771/770
Hello all, thank you in advance for any wisdom you may have. I have an Orbi RBE771 with 2 RBE770 satellites (wired backhaul, latest firmware) that have been working great. I want to make a significant modification to my network by adding a Firewall Gold PRO device as a router (for Dual ISP, VPNs, etc.) and running the Orbi in Access Point (AP) mode. My question is on the design. Ideally, I would like the Firewalla to handle DHCP and routing for the entire network (both wired and wireless), while continuing to use the Orbi in AP mode and with wired backup. I want to avoid double NAT, of course, if possible. In a simple diagram, this is what I am thinking: My question is, can I get away with this okay? Can the 771 and its satellites be plugged into a standard switch with other wired devices (PCs, TV, etc) and still communicate via wired backhaul? I could create a dedicated VLAN for the three Orbi devices, but that would require relocating the 771 to a less desirable location (i.e., a basement). Or I could go for wireless backhaul as the devices are in good range for that option. Thoughts, comments, and advice welcome.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 BE and IoT Network Check and Observations
Looking for some feedback on the IoT network and operation. Can you connect to the IoT network at the RBR and at each RBS? Does the connected IoT network devices appear on the RBRs web page and Orbi app correctly. Please give model# and firmware that you give feedback on. Thank you for your participation.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.Share your Orbi BE770/870/970 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.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?RBE771 Issues
We recently purchased the RBE771 with 2x RBE770 satellites less than 2 months ago and have nothing but problems with constant huge packet loss/connection. It is most evident during Zoom/Teams Video calls or Facetime for example. The far end(tested from many different sources) always says the video is very choppy and no clear video. I have factory reset it twice after trying the latest firmware(10.5.18.3) and previous version(10.5.13.1), with the same issue. Armor and IPV6 are turned off. Both satellites are 30ish ft. away from each other and have good signal back to router. House is only just under 2,000 sqft. I have to believe there is something not right with this setup/hardware.Orbi 770 and BT\EE TV
Has anyone managed to get the BT\EE TV IPTV channels working with the Orbi 770? I've enabled the BT IGMP Proxy setting on the router but just get the IPC6023 error on the BT TV box. If this doesn't get the BT TV internet channels working what does the BT IGMP Proxy setting actually achieve?
