Orbi backhual connection attempt
I am generally OK with my Orbi it works alright, minor quirk but ok. I have a NAS connect to a Netgear R7000 which act as a bridge to the Main orbi wifi. It works but since the bridge is using the ...
And your using the wireless bridge mode on the R7000? Possible there is an issue with wireless bridge and Orbi systems. However I have my older WNDE111 wireless bridge connected to my 1 satellite that services my mom in laws DISH Joey in her room next door to where the Satellite is. Possible there is a configuration or FW issue with the R7000.
What FW are you using on the Orbi router?
To be clear my r7000 have No issue connecting to the normal Orbi wifi "the front hual" however nothing is able to connect to the dedicated Orbi backhual with the 4x4 stream except for the Orbi satellite. I have latest firmware on Orbi 2.1 something as well as r7000
I am essentially trying to hack the system to make any router with a bridge mode to act as a satellite, which I am sure Netgear will not approve of, because they will loose money on selling satellite. But I am trying to do this for fun.
