Orbi RBR50 - iPhone App Store/ESPN not working
Just set up my system and everything works great. WiFi has been extended throughout entire house. I have found two small issues. - my App Store will not download new apps or update apps - my ESPN ...
Found the fix....
If you just access...
from a device that is connected to the orbi you will get a popup message saying "fixing your DNS because of a conflict with your provider.
After this it seems it is all working.
I think what they added to the webpage was automating the steps from this post:

I tried this with my wifes iphone which is a different version and all the same problems are there... cannot download apps... cannot use ESPN app. Cannot use the other apps.
DNS fix that was linked does not resolve the issue.
I called a buddy who recommended the orbi and asked him to try and he said the same problem occurs for him... so this is occuring for everyone.
Does anyone have a fix for this? Don't want all this stuff not working.

Hmmm... checked my AP Mode/Router Mode setting and I was still in Router mode and everything was working fine after accessing the site... so you can ignore the link to netgear I posted and just access the http://orbilogin.com site from inside the orbi wifi and it should work.
Just as an FYI I tried AP mode and it did not seem to do anything. Speeds were exactly the same and everything still worked in AP mode.
