Orbi RBK852-EUS Multiple connectivity issues and high latency
I’ve recently purchased Orbi Wi-Fi 6 and my network has became a complete disaster. The issues I’m experiencing are related to: 1) Logitech Circle 2 Wireless unable to connect; 2) High latency due...
- I fixed it.
Orbi doesn’t allow Netflix and Prime video. But if I set it as AP and use another router as DHCP it works fine.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I've had three sets of Orbi routers (50/Pro/AX) and all of them have no problems with any streaming service, appleTV, etc... Sounds more like a router/modem issue.

Refer to previous posts. Different countries, different router, different setup, identical issue. Orbi NAT block all the streaming services. If you bypass the NAT by setting it to AP mode, all works fine.
This is a modem/router issue to start with. Most of these ATT gateway modems seem to induce problems with Orbi AX and the prior Orib AC models as well.

Modem FW may have broke good speeds between the modem and Orbi in router mode:

This will be needed to run the RBR in router mode. Unless the newer modem can be fully bridged.
Look like the newer modem solved his issues:
I don't have ATT nor use a PACE modem. Cable modem here, CM1100. Have not see any of these issues with my Orbi AX or AC models. They are both currently online, both connected the CM1100 modem on a 1Gb service line.

But I've used three different Orbi routers (AC/Pro/AX) with 3 different modems in three different locations/states with three different ISPs and all in Router mode and streaming has never been a problem. I don't use the ISP junk, I just buy my own (various surfboards) and our streaming is fast and stable. Really does seem like a particular issue with Orbi and a particular modem or modem chipset, if not some weird ISP setting in the modems they provide. I know that this isn't helpful. Just curious.
I am having the problem with the AX since installation this weekend where once a day the whole mess just gives up the ghost. iPad, iPhone, Note 10, all the nest cams and hubs and all other wireless devices are kicked off and the wifi signal disappears. If I try to log back in, I'm told that my wifi password is incorrect. Nothing fixes it but a reboot. Then everything connects great and I'm flying along at twice the speed of my Pro until the next day when it happens again (usually at 3 or 4 in the am). Thought they solved this nonsense with the prior models some time ago.

Some ISPs like ATT don't allow or offer BYOM. There services required the use of ISP HW. Looks like the upgrade to a 210 model gateway has solved this for the one user. Hopefully will be helpful for users with these PACE modems. Need to get into something newer. DMZ or IP pass thru is needed for these gateway modems. Having to routers on the same line can be problematic. Been like this for a long time now.
