Cant connect to internet
When I first install the Orbi in my shop I plugged it into a Net gear router that was connected to another net gear router in the house. When I first installed it everything went simple and fine and worked great.
Two days later, any of my bluetooth devices connect to the Orbi and the signal is strong.
BUT now When I try to use the internet I get the following message on my Iphone or Ipad.
"Safari cannot open the page becasue it could not extablish a secure connection to the server."
I'm older and not to computer savy so Im not understanding what the problem is since it worked just fine the first day I installed it.
Please help.

Can you tell us something about the other Netgear routers? What are they?
Two routers on your network can cause headaches.

Sometimes it is easier to put the second router into AP mode. A lot of people do that with Orbi devices. I do.

Is it just the iStuff that has a problem? Or everything that tries to get to the Internet?Those prompts may just be the devices worrying about security issues rather than the failure to connect.
