Internet gaming is one of the applications that are affected when there are two routers (the ISP device and the Orbi router).
What specific device is the Orbi connected to?
If it is also a router, there are three options:
- Place the ISP device into "bridge" or "passthrough" mode. (and also turn off any WiFi service on the ISP device).
Often the ISP technical support can do this for the customer. - Place the Orbi into Access Point (AP) mode. This eliminates any 'router' functions of the Orbi. If you want (or need) to use Orbi routing functions, this may not be what you want. But, many (many) customers are happy with this solution.
- Place the Orbi's IP address into the ISp router's DMZ.
