Authentication Required using Orbi with Google Fiber
So I bought the Orbi system and used it flawlessly with TWC cable internet. Took the Orbi to my new house where we had Google Fiber installed. Unfortunately, some web pages ask for username and pass...
The difference is the google fiber must require a login to use the internet service were the twc cable internet service was constant on service you may have to resetup to the Orbi system to match your new isp's requirements and not to twc's as it was once set up for.
Twc's service is dynamic ip address system were company has control though their modem of your ip address and internet speed.
Google may be closer to a dsl type service were your require to use a users name and passphrease to use their service given to you in a letter like att did some times years ago with their dsl service I have not seen how att handles their set up with newer tv/phone/internet services set up process.
One possible answer thinking about it you could have the google modem/router set up as a bridge and let your netgear router work as a normal router the isp modem should be able to handle the logging in part and pass the Internet to your netgear router just you did your twc Internet service.
I hope this crazy idea works for you.
