Rbr850 does not recover from internet drop
I'm still on fibre to the node so I use a modem in bridge mode with an Ethernet cable direct to the orbi router. Essentially the orbi authenticates the connection but the modem translates. Every so often the orbi drops the internet even though the modem shows a solid connection. The unit flashes white for a while then goes a solid purple requiring a reboot to restore the connection. Note that the modem does not need a reboot but I have found that rebooting both means the service stays up longer than if I just boot the orbi. Firmware is right up to date and it's done this since new. I've ended up building a watchdog that boots the orbi after 5 minutes of no internet but really should this be necessary?RBS850 as satellite to Orbi 970?
It’s almost 2026, what have you found? To buy the new system wifi7 and run your 850w/ satellites in your outbuildings? perhaps just the main router is best with cheap $20 or less extenders, at least they can work with any system and just boost the signal whatever it may be especially with the cost of their satellites that only work with the same model router. I have the 850 with 5 additional satellites just to cover my 5000 sq ft house and still no service in many areas connected to Starlink. I get the Starlink w/1 everywhere but the Orbi… well just sad really. Im interested to see what you are doing. Running VPN? From routers ? Dark web?RBR850 not adjusting daylight savings time for Australia / Adelaide timezone
Settings under Administration > NTP Settings. Doesn't matter which NTP server is being used. Works and adjusts DST correctly for the Brisbane / Sydney / Melbourne timezone and others work correctly. The router doesn't seem to know that the Adelaide / Darwin (GMT+930) timezone also has a daylight savings time that should be applied.TIVO ASSISTANCE
Hello. and good morning , I am being told by my cable company that all tv info will have to switch to TIVO , I have an. Orbi router and. satellite , they are telling me ,that it has IP Snooping enabled which blocks IP TV traffic , is there a way to disable it and if it is disabled what if any are the down sides to disabling , they installed 2 devices called "Plumes " , this orbit router system was expensive and would like to keep it , thank you for any insight in advance . The Orbi system I have is RBK 852-1000 NAS ,,,,TRI BAND WIFI 6 MESH NETWORK SYSTEM ,,,AX6000Foxtel issues (Australia)
I'm not sure if anyone else is having any Foxtel issues, but am getting a recurring / intermittent F1077 error code. When I loop Foxtel through my iPhone hotspot there's no issue, so its definitely a problem with the wifi settings. I have an RBR850 with 2 RBS850's. Any advice would be very much appreciated. I suspect it may be a question of setting static IP's?
RBK 853 5gHz Wireless Backhaul Issues
About 30 days ago, my otherwise rock-solid Orbi 850 system (RBR + 2 RBS) began to slow way down. After some troubleshooting, I noticed the backhaul was using 2.4 gHz, not the dedicated 5 gHz band and had gone from a daisy-chain config to a star mesh config. The farthest RBS ( about 75 ft from router) shows "poor" in the connection status. I did a factory reset and a reconfiguration from scratch yesterday via the web GUI (not the iOS app). I'm still getting no signals on the 5gHz backhaul (see attached screenshot). Any ideas?
