RBK50 blocking sites

Was hopibg there was an explination as to why this just happened,,
having the orbi in access point mode doesn't disable seamless roaming. It'd still work fine. It just doesn't integrate with the ISP cpe router's wireless.
It could be a dns issue. Have you tried using googles at 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 or cloudfare at 1.1.1.1
It uses the ISP's DNS but could change the DNS In the orbi, the other reason i switched off the CPE was the interference i was getting on the 2.4ghz, which is what i use mosty as i have a lot of solid masonary in the house.. i ll try the DNS ...
