UPnP issue when using ORBI and a Nighthawk hotspot
So I believe that I am dealing with a rather unique circumstance. I am currently using a NETGEAR Nighthawk mobile hotspot (MR1100) in conjunction with an Orbi system. Here are the specifications of t...
When in AP mode, there are various features like uPnP which are disabled. The uPnP function at this time would come from the main host router upstream from the Orbi. Two uPnP features on two different routers won't work, thus reason of disabling it while in AP mode. Did you try the RBR in router mode using the main host routers DMZ?
Thanks for the prompt response.
Bare with me, I am currently getting as familiar as I can with networking and I'd rather not waste all of your time asking questions that google can answer.
My understanding is the DMZ configuration would be forwarding the responsibility of acting as a router to the Orbi. For this I will need to access the current wireless hotspot through a browser. Just for clarification, will I need to save the IP address of the Orbi, disconnect it, reconnect to the Nighthawk LTE hotspot as a stand alone connection, log into the network settings using its IP and then set the DMZ parameters to forward to the Orbi's IP then reactivate the Orbi to operate in router mode?
I know those may seem like simple questions but I just want to make sure I have a decent grasp on exactly what I should be doing.
Also, to view the IP address of the Nighthawk LTE hotspot, do I need to do anything in particular?
Yes.
Not that I know of. Refer to the hot spots user manual for it's web page access information and configuration.
