Can't access dlna server from orbi
Hi all,
This is my first message to the community. First of all, I want to say that I am very satisfied with my ORBI system.
It is a RBK 2323 one (One router + 2 Satellites). I have only installed one satellite (+ router) and it is enough to cover my whole house.
However I am experiencing an issue that I don't know how to solve. First of all my config :
- The ORBI router is connected to my existing router (Freebox) by wire.
My Freebox router local network is 192.168.1.x (Wifi is disabled)
My Orbi network is 10.0.0.1
- I use One satellite
- UPnP is enabled in ORBI advanced configuration
- I have a Plex Server connected to my Freebox router with DLNA Service enabled
- I have a TV Box connected to the freebox.
My problem is that I can't see the DLNA Server on my wifi devices.
I can see the DLNA Server on my TV Box (on 192.168.1.x network).
I tried to install DLNA Server on one of my wifi device (laptop) and of course this time I can see the DLNA Server on all wifi connected devices.
I tried to install another DLNA Server (miniDLNA) on my server and as for Plex I can only see it on my TV box (not acessible from 10.0.0.x network).
Maybe, I need to configure something in ORBI router (port forwarding or anything) but I don't see what.
Note that I found some related topics in the forum but they all end with contacting support so I did not have the end of the stories !
Thanks for your help,

SW_ Thanks it worked !
I can know see my DLNA Server. I configured ORBI in AP Mode as you suggested. Obviously, all my devices at home are now on the same network which is much more convenient. I must admit I installed the ORBI system without checking the configuration and I didn't pay attention since it worked direclty out of the box.
Anyway thank you very much for your help and have a great new year's eve !
