Hi

Lots of questions, I’ll do my best.

The firmware is V2.5.1.16

The Internet service is via Vodafone and I have plugged the Orbi into a spare port on the Vodafone router as per the Netgear instructions. The Orbi has an IP address of 192.168.1.12. The devices connected to the Orbi include Windows laptops, IMacs, iPhones, iPads, a Nest hub, Android tablet and several Kindles. All get 10.0.0.x addresses.

They all connect but the PC reports no internet connection but it works. The Android device shows half of the Wi-Fi symbol with a ! mark and reports no internet in the settings, but works.

If I plug in a device to either Orbi on a cable no problem..

I have got good reception around the cottage so no worries there.

Please advise

Thanks

Andy
