Any way to have any timed access control w/RBR20 as Access Point?
Just installed the standard RBR20 +2 Satellite kit, replacing an aged Apple Airport Extreme that just wasn't cutting it any longer. Unfortunately, I'm in the situation of an ATT Uverse (ARRIS) m...
If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the ORbi router gets from the modem. Configure the RBR for router mode.
Thanks FURRYe38 and apologies for the newbie questions... I think I get how to set the NVG589 over to Pass-Through and id RBR20's allocated IP... but doesn't that still create two separate networks? In other words, all the hard-wired devices get DHCP addresses from the NVG589. The RBR20 would be giving different addresses to the WiFi devices - unless I can disable DHCP on the Orbi... then would work as before with all devices getting addresses from the gateway and knowing 192.168.1.254 is their DNS?
My issue with needing everything on the same 192.168.1.x network for AirPlay, Nexia/Z-Wave, Sonos devices, etc. which all have to be on the same network to function.
Seems strange Netgear wouldn't even have basic MAC address time-based access available in AP mode, when devices like the decade old Apple Airport had that simplicity for so long.
thanks
Yes, you need to connect everything to the ORBI router to have everything on the same network.
I would check to see if you can bridge your ISP Modem if your going to run the Orbi in router mode. If not, you may want to configure the Orbi RBR for AP mode. Then everything will be on the same network as your modem will be your main host router.
