I used a Beryl AX as an alternative AP and it worked without any issue, so it seems like it's the Orbi (or my failure to do something in the settings). Can anyone think of a setting on the Orbi that I need to change? It's in AP mode. Someone suggested I change back to router mode, but I'd prefer not to have two routers, and if it works for the Beryl AX, I'm hopeful it can be figured out for the Orbi (especially since I have three units....)
What a cute little travel router. (Beryl AX) How is it connected to the OPNsense firewall? (Ethernet or WiFi?) and is the Beryl in Access Point mode?
Probably not much to change on the Orbi settings when in Access Point mode. It is surprising that the Orbi WiFi signal would actually switch on and off. (for real? device wireless settings report "not connected", but then connect again in 30 seconds?)
What happens when the VPN feature is not active on OPNsense?
