Airplay connection issues with Orbi
Greeting Netgear community, I recently purchased and installed an Orbi system with two satellites. It has been a great addition and works great for wifi in general. One thing I can struggling with is ...
It helps to know "how things are connected".
- What specific internet modem (brand, model) is the Orbi connected to?
- Are all devices connected to the Orbi, and nothing besides the Orbi is connected to the internet modem?
- Which specific Denon model is this? (To look at the User Manual and see how Airplay is activated.)
(Does the Denon stream correctly from other apps, and only fails with the Apple apps?)
The Orbi router is connected to a moden from Spectrum, the internet provider, and is brand new this year. Unfortunately there is no brand or model listed anywhere on the unit.
The Orbi is the only thing connected to the modem. One satellite does have a GB switch attached to it and from there I connect to the Denon AVR4311ci.
What's confusing is that I can control the AVR from the app on my iPhone and I can see it when I type the IP address in Safari, but when I try to stream music from any apps and choose Airplay, the Denon is no longer available as an option.

How many LAN ports does the modem have? Does it have wireless LAN?
The modem only has one LAN port for the router and it is wireless.
