Sonos dropped all Music stations except Pandora
Hello! I just purchased a new Orbi WiFi system last night. Having issues with logging in to certain websites; apple.com, att.com for starters. It gives me the Log in to www.apple.com and then states ...

How is Sonos connected?
When I used the Sonos Bridge connected via ethernet - no music.
I got rid of the Sonos Bridge and went wifi for all Sonos speakers = music!

Hello, all speakers are WIFI. they are working great! The issue is that the only music service that now works is Pandora, I have completely lost access to Sirius and Amazon.
AT&T Arris NVG589 - Now the wifi is disabled and only using the ORBI system.
Thanks!

Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly. https://www.dslreports.com/faq/17734
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopI recommend trying option #2 first.

I have a complete Sonos setup... including Sonos Bridge, Sonos Connect, playbars, play 1s, 3s etc. I think a total of 15 or 20 devices.
They all work flawlessly with Orbi.
I have only the Sonos Bridge connected to an Orbi port... all other Sonos devices are connected via the bridge
Chances are you have "double-routered" yourself and need to bridge routers per FURRYe38 comment.

Please set your Motorola NVG589 router into bridge mode according to the following instructions: https://forums.att.com/t5/AT-T-Internet-Features/How-to-put-the-Motorola-NVG589-in-bridge-mode-or-as-close-as-you/td-p/3552057/page/3

I think this is a double NAT situation. You have two options:
1. Keep Orbi in Router Mode and please set your Motorola NVG589 router into bridge mode according to the following instructions: https://forums.att.com/t5/AT-T-Internet-Features/How-to-put-the-Motorola-NVG589-in-bridge-mode-or-as...
2. Keep the ISP router as main router and set Orbi in AP mode.

Thanks, I reqad somewhere that people werew questioning the other 3 satellites working when the ORBI is in AP mode, will they still work or 'daisy chain' off each other? I want to be clear on all thie before I make the changes. I need all the satellites to work as our home is 4 levels and over 6300 sf.

Yes, all satellites will continue working in AP Mode exactly as in Router Mode.
