No, I don't work for Netgear. This is a community forum, not tech support. You do know that Netgear has no responsibility to reply or even read these forums if they want to be difficult right?
Who said anything about letting a router sit idle for any period of time, or mention a certain time frame? Inordinate doesn't mean 24 hours.
Maybe I wasn't clear, but I didn't get any hints from the poster that actual network connectivity or internet access wasn't working for any clients, just that the diagnostics was all hosed. I meant to imply to ignore the diagnostics as long as the internet is working and check back in to see if the diagnostics are reporting correctly after an INORDINATE amount of time. I've seen the diagnostics synch up with reality in as little as 30 minutes, but as long as 3 hours.
I really feel for everyone having trouble with the crappy firmware implementations, especially those stuck outside of return windows and after the support window has closed.
I have no idea why the Orbi works very well for some and absolutely the worst network experience EVER for others. I use it as a Router on my own Netgear cable modem, wireless backhaul on, using daisy chain, with 2.4 ghz transmit power turned down to 75 percent, all the bells and whistles on, assign static LAN addresses outside of the DHCP range for the satellites.
