ORBI RBR20 router is offline but satellite is online
The problem is ORBI RBR20 router is offline (red dot on app) but satellite is online (green dot on app). This cannot be right. I disconnected the ISP router and connected the Orbi to the Gigibit mode...

Thanks. I suspect that the issue is the Nokia does not provide a "public" IP address to the Orbi, and thus the Orbi thinks it is not connected to the Internet. One clue is that the Nokia provides (4) ethernet ports and seems to be doing "router stuff". (IGMP snooping, QoS, VLAN's)

When searching for information on the Nokia, I came across this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/dubai/comments/a39kc5/du_router_nokia_g240gc_login_credentials/
I understand this is all absurd because the Orbi obviously IS connected to the internet since "it works."
