IP TV T-Entertain doesn't work with Orbi RBK40
I'm living in a bigger house with all of the typical pitfalls for a good WLAN connectivity across the whole building. I tried Frits (7490) with a repeater and external antennas. It worked, but not as...

Hi Frank.
I suspect that you may need to :
a/ Put the fritz into bridge mode (so that it becomes just a modem)
b/ use the Orbi in full router mode (with DHCP) - you will need to add the PPPoE settings.
c/ connect TV via ethernet direct to router
I use the Orbi in this way with a Vigor 130 modem and BT-TV.

Hi, I have the same problem. I am using the standard Telekom Router as a modem with a connected RBR40. The RBS40 Satellite is in the living room, the T-Entertain-Box is connected via Ethernet. Both are nearly 15 metres away from the router - so it's impossible to connect the T-Entertain-Box directly with the router.
Activated IGMP doesn't make a difference. RBR and RBS 40 are both in Router Mode (AP doesnt make a difference too).
Someone have an idea?
