Orbi Wifi Mesh System RBR20 intermittenly going off line
I have an ATT BGW210-700 in bridgemode to My RBR20. The RBR20 is set to AP mode. The router intermittently goes out and it is too frequent for me. I had to hot fix firmare updated to the current ...
Crimpon is correct, if you have the RBR in AP mode, then the ISP modem needs to be in router mode.
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
