Orbi RBK53s blocking IPTV app on firestick
Hi, I recently purchased the Orbi RBK53s to improve our Wifi and the results have been fantastic, but it's blocking my iptv app on my firestick - all was working fine before the Orbi was installed. ...
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

The connected satellite is then connected to the TP Link which the Fire stick and a Virgin box also connect to, the firestick then connects to the TV via a usb port, the TV box connects via a HMDI cable.
I subscribe to a IPTV service and this is accessed through a app that I downloaded on to the Firestick.
Since installing the Orbi, I have been unable to login into it, although the Amazon Prime I also subscribe to has been fine and completely unaffected.
(This does not address the problem, but.....) I believe the Fire Stick connects to one of the TV HDMI ports. The USB connection goes to the Fire Stick power supply
Connecting the Fire Stick to one of the router LAN ports would be a good troubleshooting step, except that the Fire Stick must be plugged into the TV. I actually bought a 100' ethernet cable from Amazon (about $20) to do wacky things like this (when I'm alone in the house).
The Fire Stick also connects over WiFi. Does changing to WiFi make any difference?
