Configuring the Orbi RBR850 kit with an AT&T Fiber BGW320-500 Gateway -fequent DNS errors
Hello, I am using an Orbi RBR850 with the AT&T Fiber BGW320-500 Gateway and followed to the letter AT&T instructions as well as some found in this forum to configure the RBR850 in IP Pathrough mode....
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
What FW version is loaded on the Orbi system?
Is IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
Try setting custom DNS to use Cloudfare or Quad9 instead of Automatic.
Try the RBR in AP mode connected to the ATT modem router with IP-pass-thru disabled as see if DNS errors continue.
Thanks for the detailed description. I am using an Orbi RBR850 with the AT&T Fiber BGW320-500 Gateway. I did exactly what you did, and everything seemed to work perfectly; however, I frequently get the following message from my laptop when I try to reach various websites: "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN."
I have no idea why this is happening and could use some guidance. My Orbi RBR850 is setup as " Use Router as DHCP Server"
The one thing that I find odd is that the MAC address written on the bottom of my Orbi, which is the address I entered in the Firewall>IP Passthrough page of the BGW320-500 differs by 1 digit (the last one) from what is shown by the BGW32--500 in its "Choose from list" drop down.
