Weird behavior ISP router
Hello,
I have a RBK23 Orbi kit for few days and I encountered weird behavior.
My ISP Router is connected to 16 ports Dell unmanaged switch and all my devices are all connected to this switch....
When you switch from WAN to LAN port. I would power down the Orbi router and Satellite first, then make the switch. Then power up the router first and check for internet connection, if good, then power UP the Satellite.
I didn't know that about your switch. I would test with out any swtiches in the mix as well to help rule out any thing else. Go diretly to the ISP Modem trying both WAN and LAN port connections with the modem and see if the behavior still appears.
Ok, I'm trying different mix of switch, WAN/LAN port, etc.
I would like to add that my gateway 192.168.0.1 from the ISP router just get down.
I think it happens when my modem is gonna restart STB cause every X hours, my modem is restarting his STB part.
In orbilogin web UI I get Public IP with a Mac Adress. I think it's a Public IP assign to the decoder part.
So after this, I'm loosing gateway.
Try bridging the modem. If it can't be, you can use the modems DMZ for the IP address that the orbi router gets, then you can configure the Orbi router in Router mode.
Might see if you can get a modem that is a modem only for your ISP.
- My ISP router does Bridge. I will try wirh bridge mode.
Thank you
