End for me.
Orbi has really a problem, i think with DHCP, even in AP mode.
I resetted my ORBI, no satellite, switch in AP mode, connected to my internet box (Orange LiveBox 4 from France) and nothing else.
One day later, all my DHCP setting of my main router (Livebox) is gone.
It's not the first time, when i connect the orbi on my router, some time later some devices had bad IP (All the IP are static in the DHCP of my router).
Why orbi do something in AP mode !!! should just act like a switch !
There something wrong with orbi, it's a fact, it's a bad product, i can't use it again any more.
No need to hear "it works for other people bla bla bla", it should works with every body, without doing anything, plug and play, like all the device i use, orbi is really the worst device i had.
It does work for others. May take some configuration and time. Yes there are problems however does mean they effect everyone or all Orbis. You have had a bad unit which should be replaced by NG. Did you ask them about this?
