ORBI RBR50
I have the OrbiRBR50 base unit, and also another Orbi extender downstairs. The Base Unit was plugged into a Spectrum modem/router combo unit and it worked well for a long time. Spectrum just came and...
The RAC2V1S and the Orbi are both routers with WiFi. You need only one. If the RAC2V1S covers your entire home and you are happy with the way it works, you do not need an Orbi. On the other hand, if the RAC2V1S does not provide WiFi to your entire home, then the optimal strategy is to simply remove the RAC2V1S and plug the Orbi directly into the modem.
Is there a setting i need to change on the orbi so i can access all websites? Ex. When i select my ORBI wifi connection, and i try to connect to certain websites, it will say "not secure" or error 404 or your password will be sent unencrypted. EX: If i manually type in caala.org into the address bar, i get "Log in to caala.org: 80; Your password will be sent uncrypted (I am attaching a screen shot). If i manually type in the address bar https://caala.org, it will take me to the site. Now, if i select the wifi "myspectrumwifi2-g", i can type in the address bar: caala.org and it will take me to the site.
So, it looks like for some sites when i use the orbi wifi, the https is not automaticlly being added when using the orbi.
It might be useful to know a couple of things:
- Which web browser is being used?
- Does this Orbi have Netgear's "Armor" activated on it?
Thanks
safari, google chrome - it does this on all of them.
I don't know how to check if "Armor" is on the Orbi. I haven't changed any settings unless it updated itself.
