Orbi Blocking Websites
After returning home and having the orbi offline (4 week) we turned everything back on and are having this issue: -some websites, including the Netgear website, are being blocked. Typical error messa...
Thank you for the help! This fixed it for me! So frustrating, seemed so easy to set up, and my boys loved it, they could play on their iPads wherever in the house, but when we tried to click on links from Facebook, or update an iPhone, it wouldn’t let us. This fix, logging into the Orbilogin site and it manually adjusting the IP address to not conflict with the modem fixed it! Thank you! Hopefully Netgear fixes this in their next update.
The Orib automatically or should automatically change it's IP address to avoid an IP address conflict if you factory reset the Orbi and walked thru the setup wizard.
Also, This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
