Cannot download apps from Apple App Store on iPhone or Apple TV
Cannot download apps from the Apple App store on iPhones or Apple TVs. If I connect the Apple TV directly to my cable modem everything works fine. The minute I reconnect the router to the cable modem and my Apple TV or iphone to the router the problem returns. This issue is the same whether wireless or hard wired to the router. This is my router's information.

I have tried changing what I can but no luck. Unless anyone can help, my next step is to go out and buy a different brand of mesh system.
Thanks in advance for any help

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Built in wifi router here? If so, This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopHi,
Thank you for responding.
I'm sorry I wasn't completely clear in my description and omitted the cable modem information.
The modem is Arris SB6190. It has no WIFI capability and only one ethernet port to connect to the router or another device so the double NAT is not an issue.
I only started experiencing this issue about 3 weeks ago. Now I cannot download apps from the Apple App store on iPhones or Apple TVs. I can however get into the app store to see available apps.
This only happens with iPhones and Apple TVs. If I plug the Apple TV directly into the Arris cable modem with an ethernet cable everything works fine. When I reintroduce the Orbi RBR850 router the problem returns. The type of connection the device makes to the router (WIFI or copper) makes no difference.
I hope you have some ideas.
Thank you in advance
Is Armor or Smart Parental controls enabled on the RBR?
