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.

Hey mate I saw you post, I'm in a similar situation but unsure exactly how to setup up the modem and the config needed.
I have a single Orbi Modem RBR750. Its wall to modem, modem to my android box (can also set up as wifi). Its used in router mode. But can be changed to AP Mode.
My IPTV app wont load at all. I've tried a VPN and absolutely no success. Can you explain the steps I should follow. From the sounds of how you set it up and working.. Let me know a few steps I should follow. From what I gathered I should have mine set up as a modem (in AP modem) then connect another router? Then connect that router to the android box?
If this is true I then need help with this... Will the router autoconfig. Or do I need to adjust the configurations on the both the orbi modem and the router?
SOS.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?Be sure to understand that the Orbi is NOT a modem. Its a wifi router.

- moehaidOct 18, 2021AspirantFirst I want to say I'm much a noob with this stuff. The routers firmware is V3.2.20.1_0.0.26
Literally did a copy paste after logining in via 192.168.10.1
Unsure what mfr even means. The orbi router is a RBR750. I also have an RBR50 connected for upstairs.
The other router I can connect is a cicsco Linksys . At this point I have Ethernet to orbi and running wifi. The cicso Linksys isn't being used. If there is a step by step of what I can do then perfect- FURRYe38Oct 18, 2021Guru - Experienced User

Is the 7 series working as your main host router after the ISP modem?What mode is the RBR50 working in? It should be in AP mode if your using it with the 7 series Orbi. Should not be in router mode.
