871 reports disconnected Internet in error in conflict with Orbi App and actual operation
I have a 870 router with 1 satellite. Internet via Centurylink fiber (Orbi connected to ONT). Centurylink connection uses PPoE with VLAN 201 tagging. 871 is operating as router, not bridge mode (ONT is just a "dumb" device). Overall my 870 system works very well - good uptime, uses 160MHz channels, no issues on data performance. Every couple of months I wake up to find the 871 router showing pink light - disconnected Internet. Has happened 3 times in last 6-months. After investigating I find: Via the Orbi phone app - shows Internet WAN port as ok - shows the ISP assigned IP address and other parameters all find Via the Orbi web I/F - shows Internet as disconnected, no WAN IP address (0.0.0.0). I look at the log history and today (Feb 5th) only showed log entries mid-January Overall the Orbi system is working fine - 1Gbps speeds, all devices connected, no issues The overall problem is that the router LED and web I/F is reporting the wrong status, but Orbi App and actual operationare correct. Also the Orbi logging for some reason isn't working correctly. If I reboot the router, will fix the situation with Router/LED. Any suggestions on how to fix w/o need to reboot on every occurrence?Périphériques Iot qui se connecte sur le routeur
Bonjour, je viens d'acheter un Orbi 870 avec 3 satellites afin de remplacer mon Orbi RBK50. J'ai crée un réseau Iot mais je me rends compte que tous mes appareils se connectent uniquement au routeur principal, bien que celui-ci soit bien plus loin que les satellites. Je ne vois pas d'option qui permettent de forcer un appareil à se connecter à un satellite, quelle(s) solution(s) pouvez-vous me proposer à part celle de me faire rembourser ?871 unable to refresh device list
I believe this behavior has been previously reported by others. I research before, re set up, etc. Decided it was a bug. I moved last summer from a stable orbi 850 setup to current 870, router and two satellites. The satellites are wired. (Seems wired backhaul maybe less supported?) If I reboot, I can see the attached device list. But after a day or so if I access the web interface and try to view attached devices, it gives a small spinning circle with “Please wait a moment”. This never goes away. Others in the house use the internet for work, so I cannot just reboot. And needing to reboot to get an attached device list does not seem reasonably. I have also had a lot more issues with devices not being found when they appear to be on the network. And devices that are found on iphone generic scan but not listed on the iphone orbi app device list. Printers that can be found some days and not others. Same printers worked reliably with the old 850 system. I had these issues last fall, was hoping for a firmware upgrade to fix, but none has arrived. Is this a known issue that is being worked on? I kind of wish Netgear had fewer models that worked more reliably. RossMost online devices not showing on on device list after router reboot
I did a reboot on my Orbi 870 system last night. Since doing this, on a few of my devices are showing on the connected device list on the router. I have around 30 devices connected to the system but only a handful are showing on the device list list the reboot. I have 3 satellites connected via wireless backhaul. All are showing a good connection. However all are showing IP's of 0.0.0.0. Has anyone come across this and have a solution?Attached Devices list shows for about a day then is not available on web app for RBE871
Hi, The Attached Devices list shows for about a day then is not available on web app for RBE871. I do a reboot then the attached devices show again for about a day. Router RBE871 V10.5.20.4_1.3.5 Satellite1 RBE870 V10.5.20.4 Satellite2 RBE870 V10.5.20.4 Satellite3 RBE770 V10.5.20.3 Any suggestions on how to fix this or is this just a firmware bug? Everything else works great - i get great internet all around/outside the house. Its just the attached device list issue- Thanks!Issue with various apps on android devices
Since upgrading to the 870 mesh system various apps on my wife's android phone aren't loading. Everything is fine on iOS devices but apps such and the BBC News app are failing to load on the android phone. I really don't understand what's causing this as it seems to only affect android devices. Has anyone found a solution to this?
