    Hi,

     

    V2.3.1.60 FW

     

    I don't use an ISP router, the RBR50 is the router connected directly to the fibre end point 

     

    Orbi is operating in Router mode. 

     

    I confirmed this is occuring on 2 Macs because when I was reloading my Mac Mini it could not determine location on setup when it wanted to determine a timezone whilst connected to WiFi.
