Orbi Problems with remote controll of UPNP / DLNA renderers
The actual model I have is Orbi RBK22-100NAS. When I installed it it auto-updated firmware now running V2.4.12.869
I replaced my ASUS router with an Orbi System. I have a Synology NAS connected to the router (Ethernet wired port). Throughout the house i have several DLNA / UPNP rendering devices such as Grace Digital streamer, RKM Streamer,... I also have 2 PC devices running Foobar2000 with the renderer add-in. I use this to stream my ripped music collection.
Before I replaced the Orbi, I could use any Remote DLNA application to stream anywhere in the house. Not the case any more. When I open Synology DS Audio app, first off I cannot see any Foobar2000 machine (even though they can stream standalone), I can stream on the RKM with a lot of inconsistency (whenever I succeed at streaming it freezes after a few songs) and I am luck if I can stream on the Grace Digital box at all.
Also, the Audio Station app on Synology has a hard time "pushing" the music to those devices when the app is used as remote controller.
Doing some research, I deactivated the daisy-chain feature on advanced setup, I disabled IPv6, and I unchecked the option "Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence".
The UPNP option is turned on on the Orbi. the UPnP Portmap Table only has the IP address correspoinding to the Synology. I wonder if other devices should show here, but there's no option to add anything.
The signal in the house with Orbi is good but this is a dealbreaker. If I can't stream this is going back and I would get a router.
I appreciate any help! You may imagine I can't live without music!

I agree. If the network doesn't do something essential, it has to go.
Can you describe:
- What modem (brand/model) the Orbi router is connected to?
- Only the Orbi is connected to the modem, correct?
Everything else is connected "behind" the Orbi? - Are there any switches in the configuration?
- Does the NAS have an "assigned" IP address?
(in the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, LAN Setup)
(You can simply assign it the IP address it already has)
