Guest Wifi network stuck on old DNS configuration Orbi RBR750 in AP mode
Hello everyone, I'm running into a strange DNS issue on my Orbi setup and I'm hoping someone here can help. My setup: Main router: Freebox Pop (ISP router in France) Orbi RBR750 configured...
If you set a static IP address configuration for AP mode, you can set a specific or custom DNS address to use on the RBR while its in AP mode.
Static IP Address Configuration for AP Mode | NETGEAR Communities
While in AP mode any connected clients get DNS either from the custom DNS set on the RBR explicitly or if dynamically, will come from the host router up stream that is set there or automatic detected from the ISP. I believe any Guest Network side of things would also be automatic from the host router. Not sure if setting static and explicit DNS on the RBR in AP mode changes for the Guest Network side of the RBR.
If anything factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch with a ethernet PC and set up DNS there, then change to AP mode and test.
Hi :) Thanks also for helping out :)
I'm not sure if I can tell if the schema explains if it's in AP mode, I attached the screenshot. (I'm gonna try to set the Orbi in router mode to see if I can sort this problem out in this mode, then go back to AP mode.)
Which settings page? Freebox or Orbi?
I don't have explicit IPv6 dns options on the Freebox
What what I can see, the RBR has a IP address of 192.168.1.1 so this is the RBR default IP address for Router mode. If you want the RBR in AP mode, this IP address won't be 192.168.1.1.
Review the AP mode guide I linked...
