AC3000 RBK50 - iPad Pro WiFi connection issues
Good morning,
i have issues with the connectivity between my ORBI RBK53 (downloaded and installed latest firmware v2.2.1.210)
my Ipad Pro shows to be connected to wifi over the ORBI system, but s...
This IP address that is outside your Orbi's DHCP range must be coming from another router.
- Please check that your ISP modem is in bridged mode and that it's not working as another DHCP server.
- Please check if you have other devices in the network (Wifi repeaters/extenders) that can also work as DHCP servers.
Thanks for the reply, but the router is absolutely the ORBI router. When I called the helpdesk, they mentioned that this was a common problem with NEW Ipad Pro models as well as Iphones. I find it strange however, that neither Netgear, not Apple has sofar come up with a patch.
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.
Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.

Change the CTR/RTS threshold values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (2341 and 2345 respectively), changed preamble modes to long preamble, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.
