Orbi- peculiar problem

- I took away the DIR-615 completely and directly connected orbi router to RJ45 from wall with orbi in router mode last evening. Did PPPoE internet connection with isp provided username password and internet got connected. Thanks for the suggestion.
I am still not sure if my original problem of farthest room not getting internet while wifi signal shows medium to good is completely solved but seemed to be holding longer in this room now. Will monitor for few days

Although the wifi bars show 3 to 2 in that room, the internet does not seem to work there although wifi signal strength remains medium to strong. Any ideas to address this will be very helpful.

what are you using to see 2-3 wifi bars? if wifi bars are present and that deivce is connected (ip address) you should have internet access. there may be something else going on.
I am using different devices mostly iphone, ipads where I see 2-3 bars of wifi signals but with patchy to no internet working in that room. I think too that there is something else going on to not have internet when the wifi signal is not weak.
I changed my Orbi setting to AP Mode yesterday from router mode and seem to be getting internet connection in that room. fingers crossed and do not know if this at all could be a reason for my issue
"I changed my Orbi setting to AP Mode ..."
This is critical info that wasn't mentioned in your origianl post. Sounds like you have another router/modem?
- Yes, have a wireless modem **bleep** router from d-link DIR-615, pic attached. One of its LAN port connects into Orbi. I had from the beginning disabled wifi on that d-link device. To be honest, did not know about AP mode before yesterday, stumbled upon in netgear support site yesterday. Can this have been the reason for my issue?
