Ring & MLB apps not working ...on wifi only

Hello Orbi Experts:

 

I have at least two apps which refuse to work if ( but only if) connected to wifi using apploe IOS devices.    Wwweb-based versions of the same apps work fine with same wifi.  Other wwwebsites working fine.   If/when I turn wifi off and use the weak cellular data signal, all works fine with these apps.    ANY  suggestions for workarounds are appreciated.  V/r-Rgds, Matt in the mountains

  • This isn't much to go on.  Is it too personal to identify the specific apps which fail on (iPhone? iPad? iMac?) and what sort of error they report?

  • What happens if you disable IPv7 on the RBR if it's enabled?

    Do you have any Armor or Circle apps enabled on the RBR?

      Hello Furrye38 & @CrimpOn    and thanks for sharing your experience & advice:

       

      With Fv2.5.1.16 we show no Armor nor Circle Apps running.  I am ignorant how to check if IPv7 is enabled as the word "ipv7" does not ( at least not readily) appear in the "Netgear User Manual"  manual I found for the RBR 

      << message not allowing URL>> 

      These weird "not connecting" messages appear with IOS devices on Orci wifi at my house that have apps:  Ring and MLB-Audio.  ...including an iphone 8 with (i think) latest IOS v 13.6 and an old ipad.

        Was a typo on my part. Sorry, meant to be IPv6. IPV6 will be under Advanced tab/IPv6.
