RBK50 Access to my home network from internet (doesn't work)
Hello, My LAN network is in the range 192.168.1 and the LAN network between the RBK50 and my BOX to internet is in the range 192.168.0. If I try to access from a PC (192.168.0.3) to a PC (192.168.1...

If I try to access from a PC (192.168.0.3) to a PC (192.168.1.240) I get the message "Destination Host Unreachable".
How can I configure the RBK50 to allow access ?
Have you an idea ?
Many thanks for help.

Sounds like your BOX is a router and you are also running Orbi in router mode. Two routers will cause the issue you are seeing. You have three choices:
1) Configure port forwarding on both routers. Not recommended.
2) Bridge your BOX so it does no routing. Port forward on your Orbi.
3) Run Orbi in access point mode, so Orbi does no routing. Port forward on your BOX.

Hello,
Thank you for your multiple choice answer.
In the meentime I solved the issue by using your first proposal. And it works. So I can use the full router functionnalities of the ORBI device. The functionnalities (on a securilty level) are better that the one implemented in my internet BOX. I had a look to the log file (ORBI) to see which new undesirable traffic has now been blocked.
Many thanks for your ideas and prompt reply.
I enjoy really the performances of my two ORBI devices.
Best regards

danielgassYou are welcome. It looks like you were able to easily implement the first option I listed. That's great. The reason it was not recommended is because of the need to make settings on both routers, and because you could experience problems with games or other applications. However, if everything is working for you, then there is no harm in running that way. This link provides some further information:
