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.

Enjoy. 📡
Already tried, It didn't make any difference unfortunately
Is the ipTV app the only app that fails on the Fire Stick?
Does this Orbi have Armor or Parental Controls enabled?
It's just the iptv, all the other stuff on the firestick, Amazon Prime, Youtube is all working - yes it has the Armor on, and it keeps on saying it's blocked something on the firestick, which I believe is probably the iptv, but every time i try and access security in the Orbi app, it crashes
Disable Armor by factory resetting the RBR and use a wired PC connected to the RBR and setup the RBR using a web browser.
When you get to the home screen and Armor appears, select Don't Show Again.
Test the IPTV and firestick again...Thanks FURRYe38.
Before I saw your reply, Netgear support recommended a power cycle, which I preformed, without any change.
After installing and uninstalling the Orbi app about 5 times I finally managed to switch off the Armor Security, without the app crashing and although this this then allowed me to access my iptv without a vpn, it was still restricted to approx 10mbps download speed
I then unplugged the Firestick so it's on Wifi and this resolved the issue - or at least I hope it has, although I have read posts of recurring issues, so fingers crossed, as i'm slightly worried about my issues with my subscriptions if my IP addresss is changed.
Many thanks for to you and the others who have helped with this, it's really appreciated.
