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. ...

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.
