Just a minor note: Orbi routers have two possible 'modes':
- Router (the default mode) which means the Orbi performs all the usual 'router functions'
(assigning IP addresses to devices, controlling access, deciding which DNS servers to use, etc. etc.) - Access Point (AP) mode, which means the Orbi performs no 'router functions' and acts only as a WiFi access system to the primary upstream router.
Thus, AP Router mode is sort of oxymoron. Would be helpful to know which 'mode' is enabled for this SXR80.
As far as troubleshooting the problem:
- Is it always the same devices which have this problem?
- Would they by chance be Apple devices?
- How is this system being managed? (Orbi web browser interface (http://orbilogin.net or the Orbi 'app'?)
- I meant to write OP as in operation mode. Not AP. sorry for that.
It’s in Router mode.
It’s not always the same device, and not always Apple devices.
Managed through web browser.
Thanks
