Orbi and Apple private relay
Apple’s new privacy service with iOS 15 doesn’t seem to work with Orbi routers. It works fine on 4G and other wifi routers but not my RBR50. Is this a known issue?

As iOS 15 was (literally) just released, this is the first report of potential issues I have seen.
This appears to be a feature of the Safari browser:
https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ios-15-privacy/ has a description.
At first glance, I see no reason to think the Orbi router would do anything to block this. It appears to be very similar to a VPN client, except for being restricted to Safari.
Are Smart Parental Controls or Bitdefender Armor enabled on this Orbi?
- I am on iOS 15 connected to my RBK50 router/satellite setup, using Apple Private Relay, writing this response with no problems. If you’d like any more info on my setup/configuration let me know.
Please do post any of your Orbi and ISP modem configurations. Details will be helpful.
