ps4 cannot identify NAT type while on Orbi satellite
I have an Orbi mesh setup (1 router, 2 satellites). This is a new setup, replacing old my router. The Orbi router is my router and is directly connected to my ARRIS cable modem. The only wifi in the...
No. Its not. Having a game console in the guest network could be since Guest Network which has less controls.
I will try your suggestion this evening. But I thought having a game console on my private network was a big security risk for the other computers on my network?

So everything is working again (for the moment) on the private network. I will add the second RBS later tonight. Should I still disable Daisy?
Daisy Chain is needed if one of your Satellites is closer to another Satellite than to the Router.
If you have such setup then you need to keep Daisy Chain enabled. Otherwise it’s better to disable it.
When Daisy Chain is enabled each Satellite broadcasts it’s own backhaul radio to allow other Satellites to connect to. This transmission causes interference on the needed Router’s backhaul signal and consumes extra power.
So -if not needed- it’s better to disable Daisy Chain.
It's very likely I don't need the second RBS for my two story house (which is not that big). I could disable Daisy and plug the second RBS in an outlet in the master bedroom that's just above the room where the RBR is located. This would be the one spot where the RBS would be closer to the RBR than the other RBS that's in the second floor hallway. Would that be worth it or should I just keep the extra RBS in the box?
Use the extra Satellite only if you it will add a value, that is if it extend your wifi coverage, otherwise keep it in the box.
The general rule is that the more elements you have the more distrurbance there will be, since all elements operate on the same frequency.
Forgive my askinig for confirmation of one last detail. Since I don't think I need the second satellite, I should go ahead and disable Daisy, correct?

Yes, Daisy Chain is not needed if you have only one Satellite.
Glad you got it working.
Who told you that a gaming console is a security risk and should be put in the guest network? Crazy talk there. :smileytongue:As mentioned, you don't need Daisy Chain for 1 satellite.
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 RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. <A good rule to keep in mind. So if you have a small size home, then a 2nd RBS may not be needed. The RBR and 1 RBS covers my 5000sq ft two story home just fine. 40 feet in between the RBR and RBS.

Everything is working perfectly with the PS4 after disabling Daisy and allowing everything to reboot. I've left the 2nd satellite in the box. I can't see needing it given how well everything is working now.
Thanks so much for all the help. I really learned alot along the way!!
Glad you got all up and running and its working well.
Be sure to do a backup configuration to file on the RBR for safe keeping.
Please mark your post thread as solved.Enjoy. :smileywink:
Oh don't worry. I've been creating backups each day after each change. I do need to flag this last one as the "real fix" config :-)
You good. Enjoy now. :smileywink:
