Streaming VidAngel-- RBR40
Team-- we use VidAngel to stream shows and movies from Netflix and Amazon through AppleTV. VidAngel allows you to mute "F-Bombs" and other language, as well as other inappropriate content. For some r...
Yes-- Orbi is handling all the WiFi. Centurylink Wifi has been disabled and simply passing through.
Are you sure the modem is fully bridged? Just turning OFF the wifi on the modem is not enough. The modem has to be bridged or use its DMZ or IP Pass Through feature for the Orbi RBR in router mode. Or use the modem as your router and set the RBR for AP mode.
Hmmmm! I do not have my Orbi set to AP Mode, but rather Router mode. Not sure if I am fully bridged or not within Centurylink. With that said, why does everything work fine during daytime hours with the VidAngel Service, but go buffer into mode from 7 to 11 pm regardless of the settings???
Proababy more users on the service during those time frames?
Maybe more people at home around your negiborhood. Cable ISP servcies is effected by more people on a cable line system.
Need to verify that your modem is bridged if possible or use the DMZ for the Orbi if you want to run the Orbi in router mode.
You might try using the ISP modem in router mode and configure the Orbi for AP mode and see if you notice same time frames when the streaming services are working or not.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).I asked about Disney Circle because "things not working at certain times" sounds suspiciously like something is enforcing "Parental Control" in an unexpected way. If Disney Circle is NOT activated on the Orbi, then it cannot be causing a problem. If it IS activated, hmmmm.
