UPnP Issues after Upgrade
Just upgraded from an Orbi RBR850 to the 970 and everything is going fine except for UPnP. Prior everything just worked. When I started a server the control points could see it and there were no issues. Now when starting a server (I've tried on my Mac and on my Synology NAS) the control points can't see anything. Topology is the same, Base and 2 satellites in the same locations. Wiring and switches haven't changed. Just the router. I've tried Minimserver and Asset UPnP. No luck. Tried various control point apps all report no server on the network. How do I get this working again? ThanksOrbi 970 startup issues with 4 or 5 satellites
We purchased an Orbi 970 with 3 satellite and added 4 all connected through a netgear 10g ethernet switch. We noticed some issues on boot up where they may boot up as wireless, or stuck in config sync or not found, and every once in awhile out of sync We added 5 as wireless and it got really bad where maybe only 1 out of 20 reboot would all come up as good. We have done the reset and resync etc etc. We have also notice the list of connected devices on the remote login or app is not accurate and question even if the boot up state information on the app is accurate or not because a satellite will be blue but it will say not found? Any ideas? Is there a setting or a why we need to change the balance between wired and wireless that would make this boot up every time? Any way to get accurate data in the app and remote login?
I move around between the three (1 Router) and (2 satellites)
NO, it does not. Now when I move around between the three (1 Router) and (2 satellites) I have IOS devices that I literally have to turn OFF the wifi for 15 seconds and turn it back on to get it to work. I NEVER had this issue before this upgrade. Also, now I cannot get over 12 hours out of it and the whole system reboots and that was NEVER an issue either. The third issue is I will have a wireless device 7 ft. from a satellite but yet it will go thru 3 walls and 80 ft. to connect to the router instead! Not the one it can see in front of it! 4th the IOS app on the phone and the app on the computer do NOT match. One will tell me I have 52 devices connected, the other tells me 40. Then some wireless it says are wired?? The system was up 32 days before this upgrade the router wired to the first satellite and then the second satellite 5/6 Ghz. Not I cannot get the wireless satellite over 2.4Ghz period. Its like they turned down the power on them. BUYER BEWARE. I'm moving on I think to something more stable.Double NAT configuration
I'm having trouble configuring my RBE971 as a router behind my modem/router, which is itself configured as a router. I want to retain some of the router functions of my modem/router, but also benefit from a larger local network through the RBR. I was able to configure the LAN portion of the RBR without any problems, creating a local network at 192.168.16/20. However, I can't seem to activate the other portion on the modem/router side. I connect the RBR from the yellow "10G Internet" port to my 10G hub, to which my modem/router is connected (network 192.168.1.0/24). In the "Internet Setup" section, I assign the RBR a static IP address of 192.168.1.1/24 (unassigned address), the gateway to 192.168.1.254 (my modem/router), and the DNS server address to my local DNS server. When I apply the changes, the 10G link from the RBR doesn't establish a connection, and the setup page refreshes, resetting my internet IP address to 0.0.0.0. Is this a problem with the RBR itself, or have I missed something?ORBI RBE 971
Just purchased an ORBI 970 series from a reputable seller, item is not new it’s used but in amazing condition. Was tested by seller before being put up for sale. I purchased, but for whatever reason the light just keeps on blinking white. I’ve tried multiple factory resets, I even factory reset my ATT modem and still to no avail the router just won’t connect or finish the setup. It’s looking like I’ll have to return. There’s nothing else left to try, guessing it might be a firmware issue but I can’t even set it up to address that issue. Oh well
