Hi,
I have 3 Orbi RBx50 models running V2.1.4.10 software. I get intermittent results when trying to access computers on my local network. For example, one minute this will work...
> ping mycomputer.local PING mycomputer.local (11.11.11.171): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 11.11.11.171: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=17.972 ms 64 bytes from 11.11.11.171: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=15.377 ms 64 bytes from 11.11.11.171: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=9.852 ms
but a minute later, I'll try the same and get...
> ping mycomputer.local ping: cannot resolve mycomputer.local: Unknown host
I'm not sure what to try. I have Xfinity and my LAN is setup for DHCP on 11.11.11.1-.254 subnet. Any thoughts on why my name resolution might have intermittent issue?

Re: Intermittent name resolution issues
Seems to be working great so far. I saw the beta firmware, but didn't correlate the issues. It does appear to be working so far. Will update this thread if I see any more inconsistencies.
