RBR50 says not connected to Internet but I am still online
Hello, I have an RBR50 with 4 satellites attached to it. The RBR50 connects to my broadband modem. I am able to go online without any problems. However, when I go to the Orbi tool, I get the error message as below
I have reset the Orbi router (and the satellites) completely and re setup the system but still no luck.
Any help is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Gangadhar Burra

What modem/gateway are you connected to? You can frequently get that error if setup in a double nat.

Thanks for your response.
If it were a double NAT, I don't understand how I am actually able to be on-line - in other words, wouldn't that prevent me from getting internet access due to the two NAT's fighting each other?
Thanks

When you're in a double nat, some people experience different issues. Usually you're still online but the process that checks if you're online, doesn't function properly. Thats why you're online but not showing as online (usually)
