Can't connect RBS 760 to RBR
I can't connect my RBS to the RBR after changing to AP mode; the RBS led stay purple and they don't appear on the "connected devices" page. Configuration: 1: Create orbi network 2: Connect RBS ...
When i disconnect my firewall (stormshield) from thr RBR, it stop auto-restarting.
The auto-restart happens no matter the RBR configuration (DHCP or Static IP, but only in AP mode)
After some testing, i found out that the RBR isn't really rebooting, it just deactivate and reactivate it's wifi (if i'm wired to the RBR, i can stay connect to the orbilogon page). I don't see any relevant informations in the RBR logs.
I tried to downgrade the RBR firmware to V6.3.6.4_1.2.68 but the issue is still here.
The only time when the RBR don't restart it's wifi every 1 to 3 min is when it is not connected to the firewall or when it is in Router mode.
Sounds like the Orbi doesn't like your firewall appliance device. Sounds like this device is causing problems. If you need to continue with the firewall device, and use the Orbi, use the Orbi in router mode and use the firewalls DMZ or IP pass-thru for the RBR in router mode to avoid NAT issues.
I'd contact the Mfr of the firewall device to see if they have any information or help on there device that maybe causing problems like this or stop this behavior with WiFi connected routers in AP mode.
Good Luck.
