Orbi kills AT&T DVR
Orbi kills AT&T DVR. Hours on the phone with Netgear and AT&T, no solution. Previous posts, same subject do not work. All other internet services working, love the Orbi, but can't keep it if my DVR ...
I appreciate all the great feedback.
My setup - ATT uverse Pace modem 5268AC -> Orbi (DMZ Plus). Pace DVR IPH8010, tried connection to both Orbi and ATT modem, same result
As FURRYe38 suggested
“ISP modem back in router mode. Use the Modems DMZ for the Orbi router in router mode. Input the IP address the Orbi router gets from the ISP modem and put this into the modems DMZ. Set a IP address reservation for the Orbi IP address ON the modem/router so it doesn't change. Your DVR might need direct contact with the ISP modem rather then another 2ndary router..”
No Joi
Yeah that's not gonna work, Directly connect your U-verse DVR to your Gateway, plug your ORBI in and put ORBI in Access Point Mode.
Or
Still need DVR plugged into Gateway, than your ORBI, in the AT&T Gateway go to firewall advanced and IP Passthrough fixed and direct it to the MAC address not IP address but the MAC address of the ORBI, than place ORBI to get IP address from ISP, Your ORBI will get your Public IP assigned to its WAN port, run ORBI as normal.If the DVR isn't working even connected to the ISP modem, then something is happening either at the modem or DVR...something you'll need to contact ATT about.
Be sure the DVR is getting a correct IP address from the modem.
Good Luck.
