Hi i get what you are saying.
However my orbi is in ap mode and gets its ip from my modem from a dmz in the modem so themodem sets it 2.4 from within its system and the orbi sets its wifi seperately so, forgive me if i am wrong there is no chance of the ip for the orbi being thesame as the modem in respect to its wifi.
To put into perspective my requirement is to connect to an external envoy solar panel reporter that sits behind my fuse box outside the house. To access this envoy if it doesnt auto connect i have to go outside open the fuse box pull open the electrical panel to get to the envoy so the less time i have to do this the better.
Cheers nick
The ip connection to the connection has always been different to and ip wireless connection from the modem.
Perhaps i am luckly but so far no issues.
Cheers
