About printer through ORBI
Hi guys,
I recently extended my wi-fi with ORBI. Let’s call the original wi-fi WIFI1. ORBI is connected to the WIFI1 modem via ethernet with its IP (192.168.1.100) and generates a new wi-fi signal:...
Thanks a lot, it now works fine.
I only had followed the setup instructions and it had set as two routers one after the other.
Now it is in AP mode and the only one anomaly is that I connected to the ORBI router an audio device via ethernet and it isn't shown within the connected devices. Strangely it is shown with 192.168.1.106 IP in the modem/router, but anyway it works fine.
But in AP mode it seems impossible to remotely access the ORBI (te selectioni s shown in grey and cannot be activated): is that right?
Thanks again

When in AP mode, some features like remote access are no longer enabled.
- Thanks for the answer, now it’s clear.
But what about the device connected to the ethernet port which is invisible to the Orbi?

But what about the device connected to the ethernet port which is invisible to the Orbi?I have several devices that do not show up constantly on the "Attached Devices" display. (Nest thermostat is one.) What I have discovered is that when they are "doing something", they pop up on the display. But, when they go quiet again, they disappear. When the audio streaming device is invisible, is it actually "on" and streaming? My test for the Nest was actually sort of fun. I would open Attached Devices, verify that the Nest was not there, and then open the Nest app on my phone. Wow, there it is! As long as the Nest app was open, the thermostat remained on the display. Shut down the app and within a few minutes, Nest disappears. Did it several times until the wife said, "what the heck are you doing?"
Or, it could be something else. I am frequently incorrect.
