Orbi - Forward DHCP request to another DC
Hi, I am looking to move from Google Wifi to Netgear Orbi. My real struggle with Google Wifi is the lack of options. So, is there a way to forward DHCP request to an Domain Controller in my...
If I understand the question correctly, the answer is "no". Orbi has two configuration options, "router" and "access point". In access point mode, all "router functions" (such as DHCP) are disabled. DHCP broadcasts simply go wherever broadcast packets go. In router mode, the Orbi can be set to respond to DHCP requests or not, in which case there needs to be a DHCP server somewhere in the LAN.
I am not aware of any provision for DHCP forwarding (DHCP Relay?). LDAP requests would be the same.
This is WAY too advanced for a residential router.
