Losing internet connection after reboot
I am experiencing a strange problem. I have been an Orbi user and for many years. My setup is an AT&T BGW320 gateway and my RBR760 with 2 RBS760 satellites connected to it in router mode. No bridging or IP passthrough I just have the Orbi running on it's own network with it's own IP range 10.0.0 with my BGW320 on 192.168.1 Just recently if I unplug and replug the Ethernet cable or reboot the 760 it loses internet connection. I can access the web gui interface but it says no internet connection. If I reset and reinstall the 760 then all works fine again and it will continue to do so until the next reboot. Over the years I have rebooted, reset, unplugged and re-plugged ethernet cables and never experienced this issue. What could be causing this all of a sudden?RBS750 Firmware Won't Upgrade
Hello. I picked up an additional Orbi satellite second hand, an RBS750 to go with my RBR750 and an existing satellite. Needed to extend coverage in the house. The satellite is stuck on firmware V4.6.14.93. My own RBR and satellite are on 7.2. It's connected to the mesh without a problem, it's synced and working fine. I've tried updating the firmware on the satellite, and have had no luck. I've done it via the Web UI, using the Manual Firmware update on WiFi, then tried using Wired LAN, nothing. It keeps saying the firmware upgrade failed and I should "check my update file". I'm getting the firmware files from Netgear's official KB. It's really odd, it's been documented that 4.x to 7.x updates have been an issue and hence a manual updates have been required, which is what I'm trying - but it's still failing. Also, tin-foil hat, but I can't find firmware V4.6.14.93 for the RBS750 anywhere. Since I picked it up second-hand, hoping it's not some kind of custom firmware up to no good. Has anyone had any similar issues, and have you found a solution? Any ideas?Level Connect hub keeps disconnecting from RBR750 network
I have an RBR750 and three satellites that make up my mesh network. I recently added a Level Connect hub so I can actually do anything with my lock when out of Bluetooth range. Setup works fine but then the hub intermittently goes offline. According to Level the issue is with 2.4Ghz vs 5 GHz, and suggested disabling band steering to keep it on 2.4GHz (I've had similar problems with a Eufy indoor camera): https://level.co/support/articles/level-connect-cannot-join-or-loses-connection-to-network/ From what I can tell there's no option to do that in the current Orbi web interface. Any suggestions on how to get to the hub to work consistently with my setup? And not sure if it's related, but I'm having the same issue as described in this thread. Two of my satellites are not on the latest firmware and report a model of RBS750QV.Reconvergence?
I have a 3 node RBR750 network. The router is connected to my ISP router (A), one node is at my server rack (B) and the last node is in my office connecting my pcs (C). I have a ups on the router and ISP gear. This morning, that ups died, taking the Orbi router (A) and ISP gear off line. Naturally that meant no Internet connectivity. But was odd was that I could not access my servers (B) from my office PC (C). I was always under the impression that everything was meshed, that is A connected to B, B to C and C to A. In this case, A to B and A to C would be down, but B to C should have still been up. This morning's behavior seems to suggest that the topology is A to B and A to C, but nothing B to C.
