Getting error 404 on some websites
Hi, I use a Netgear Nighthawk M1 connected to the ATT network. I use it as a stand-alone hotspot when I travel and at my home connected by Ethernet to my Orbi system. It was working perfectly at ...

This is an indication that you have multiple routers in the network (Orbi in Router Mode and the Nighthawk). Seems that the Nighthawk is not correctly bridged and is still acting as a router.
- After a reset, the M1 shows 13 connections (router mode) but only shows 1 when put into bridge mode. Wouldn’t this indicate that it went into bridge mode?
1. Just to confirm, can you please open a Command Prompt on any computer attached to Orbi and type:
> tracert 8.8.8.8 (or traceroute 8.8.8.8 if you're using a Mac computer)
What will be the first two hops?
2. What is the setting of the DNS configuration in Orbi? This issue can very well be caused by the DNS configuration. Try different settings (e.g. try 8.8.8.8 as DNS) and see if things improve.
Here is what I get:
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
