Client Isolation between Router and Satellites?
I upgraded to an Orbi Router (RBR50) and two Orbi Satellites (RBS50) to get coverage for my house, and the backchannel speed is as great as advertised. That said, I am running into odd network issues...
Yea I would try setting up static routes and see if that works.

I addressed the issue by setting it to AP, and use the FIOS Quantum Gateway routing functionality. Another issue I discovered was that UPnP didn't work correctly. Before, I found some instructions how to set the FIOS Quantum Gateway into bridge mode and use Orbi as router, but apparently it didn't work properly. Setting Orbi to AP addressed it.
But, why would you do that? I had the Quantum router, but I wanted to get rid of the router, so I replaced it with the Orbi for performance improvement.
Putting the Orbi into AP mode and connected to the internet through the router I wanted to replace would be defeating the purpose of having the Orbi Mesh-Network in the first place.
Wouldn't it? I might be missing something as to why anyone would do that.
I would appreciate understanding your reasoning. Might help me understand things better.
I can't get rid of my FIOS modem/router, since my connection from the in-house box is coax, not ethernet . Once you have ethernet and only internet service, i think you can remove the FIOS modem/router.
AP for FIOS router seems to be officialy recommended/supported, I don't see any performance downgrade (actually an upgrade, since I had issues with lost connections before).
