Which do I use? Do I add the iPad address under router setting in the Orbi app or the one the stock router\modem listing ? 

Please use the address that you find in the drop down menu for the DMZ settings. This is the address for Orbi in the ISP Router.

Ok thank you. I did it and it seemed to fix the issue at least on my Xbox. When I run a cmd check. Two ip’s still pop up.

Also whenever I try to use remote connection via my cell phone outside of my home network. I get that it’s not currently online. It I know it is. Any ideas ?

    Remote connection has to be enabled via the management console. It hasn’t worked for me in the past 2 firmware updates. .32 and now .44

    Is it trace route or some other cmd?  For the two IPs, are they both private IPs (10.0.0.x or 192.168.1.x) or one of them is private and the other is a public WAN IP from your ISP?

     

    In this same setup:

    • What's the IP of the HUB?
    • What's the IP of Orbi WAN interface?
    • What's the IP of Orbi WiFi client?
    • What's the IP of Orbi LAN client?

    The IP information above will provide a better idea of your current NAT/DMZ setup.

        Someone else raised this question in another forum.  The assumption is the Orbi has necessary router functions such as advanced  firewall to live on the open internet safely.  For instance, I see DOS attacks logged and presumably the Orbi is able to handle the condition.
