Intermittent DNS Errors and WiFi Issues
I have had the Orbi AX6000 for a few months now. While there are many things I love about it (great wifi coverage, great speed, looks nice, software, ease of setup, etc.), there are two very frustra...
I solved my issue by :
- adding a 3rd satellite to my network
- upgrading the RBR850 and the 3 RBS850 to Firmware Version: V3.2.18.1_1.4.14
- switching the Orbi in AP mode
- using a peplink Balance 20X router ;-)
Now I got a stable wifi network with Orbi Wifi 6 mesh performances and a decent router doing the DHCP server, the DNS server, Firewall, load balancing, failover (between cable connection. And LTE), etc.
All you needed to do to solve the DNS issue is to put Orbi into AP mode and install a router. The 3rd satellite and firmware update were not needed.
