1. I would like to know how to get alerts on the INSIGHT app when a device joins my network? I have the BR500, Orbi Pro Gen 1. 2. I have an Xfinity modem router and a BR500 with Orbi Pro and wou...
I took the Orbi out of AP Mode in directly running it as a router and it seems to be more stable.I’m not sure if there’s a conflict between the BR500 IP address with the ORBI Pro. Filtering works still the same by setting it up as a router or putting it in AP mode. Xfinity modem is still in bridge mode as that is the only way to make the filtering work. If you’re interested to do some remote connection and check out my settings perhaps we can work something out just p.m. me. Thanks for all your help and information it’s great value to the community to have individuals like you.
Well, I took the plunge and bought the new Orbi Pro. I love now that I can segregate and isolate different SSID for example employees and local network can have their own printer without overlapping and seeing each other.
Thank you a million Netgear for this feature, even though I had a dish out more money.
Now, they did an awesome job on isolating different departments with this new Orbi Pro router the only thing that they have to straighten out is the filtering system with NetGear Insight. I completely had to give up because there was no way that wants to filter system was on that I was able to view my cameras even though that there’s a space to put in the URL to bypass the filtering system nothing could work and on top of it I was filtering porn and it would filter shopping sites so unfortunately, I gave up on it for the time being. Hopefully, they fix everything because I would jump all over the purchase price of the filtering system.
Basically what I had to do was use my BR500 and connect my new Orbi Pro and the older Orbi Pro to the BR500 and put inline a Firewalla Blue Plus to the older Orbi Pro to do all the filtering and now it seems to do the job and not block my Wyze cameras. As soon as they can get this filtering system on the Insight to work and not blocking my Wyze cameras then I’ll take the old Orbi Pro off line and buy the Netgear Insight filtering. It did not block my Ring cameras, just my Wyze cameras.
