Orbi and iOS compatible?

Having trouble with all ios and tvOS devices since I installed orbi: phones, iPads, Apple TVs. Cannot download apps, HBO GO and Netflix media wont play, Apple Music won’t play. Running on v2.3.1.4...

    Try setting a custom DNS address of 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9

     

    Orbi is iOS compatible. 

     

    Has the ISP modem and Orbi been powered off for 1 minute then power ON the modem and let it sync then power ON the Orbi base and then try? 

     

    The Orbi is directly connected to the modem correct?

Yay! The custom DNS assignments solved the problem! Thank you very much.

FWIW, those DNS are not so much custom as they are alternative services, Cloudflare and quad 9 respectively. Odd though that your ISP is failing. I’d still be concerned about that.
