orbi not allowing access to certain websites and apps
HELP, my orbi started giving me problem about 2 months ago after resetting it (that didn't work) then researching the problems with 2 routers I read instructions how to use my u-verse ATT arris NVG589 in bridge mode and my orbi is the router. That worked for about 2 weeks now I am have the same problems. I have had my Orbi set up in the prior configuration (2 routers) with no issues for 2 years until now.

Such issues appear mostly when you have 2 routers in your network. The following is a simple way to find out if you have one or multiple routers in your network:
Please open a Command Prompt on any computer attached to Orbi and type:
> tracert 8.8.8.8 (or traceroute 8.8.8.8 if you're using a Mac computer)
- If you see two private IP addresses listed in the first two hops then you have double NAT. Please check the model of your ISP modem and if you have a manual for it.
- If you see only one private address and the second hop shows a public address, then you’re all good and we need then to troubleshoot further to find the root cause of the issue,
