NowTV box problem with DM200/Orbi
Last week installed new Orbi wifi with DM200 modem (set to Modem only). Realised our NowTV (Roku) box stopped working with BBC iPlayer. Spent 2 hours trying to do factory reset on it - always fails w...
Change the DM back to modem/router mode and configure the Orbi for AP mode. This will let the Orbi act as a wireless pass thru for any data. No routing involved in this mode.

im having this exact same issue with a netgear dm200 and a nighthawk x6.
I’m not using orbi I’m using a nighthawk x6(r8000) Dm200 in brige mode and all the Plusnet details In the NETGEAR. Everything else works just now tv doesn’t. YouTube and all the other apps work just now tv. Something with the dm200 doesn’t let the now tv box or stick connect to its servers

I suppose I could return it (Amazon) but the Vigor 130 is over double the price...
And as I've said, I'm solving the problem by chucking NowTV. It's just taken too much time and effort to resolve. Netgear support is so painful...!
