Orbi RBR50 wifi connection not working and sending 404 - not found message
We have an Orbi RBR50 that I purchased and installed to create a stronger wifi network for streaming and multiple device usage. The only device it will let connect to it properly is my MAC and even t...
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. Hoping NG support can have a look at this. So try this out as well.

It's very strange that Daisy Chain has anything to do with this issue. Can it be that the reboot accompanying the change of the Daisy Chain setting was what really solved your issue? If that is the case then you might get the same issue again later....I'd look at "double router" setup when I see such an issue at browsing (404 not found).
I know that the purpose of Daisy Chain should not affect a single configuration of 1router-1satellite, but 1 week later everything is working fine .
maybe the cause could be the congestion of many WiFi in the neighborhood is almost impossible to find an empty channel
When you disabled Daisy Chain, did you remove the check mark from the check box from Daisy Chain in the routers UI?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Also you can set up different DNS addresses as well on the Orbi router, I use .1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9
