Orbi RBR750 custom LAN IP. Orbi App cannot connect to system
I have an Orbi RBR/RBS750 meshed system. I have a custom LAN subnet of 15.15.15.0/24. Router IP is 15.15.15.1. Ever since I change to a custom subnet, I can no longer log into the Orbi App. Has anyon...
The 15.15.15.0/24 subnet would only be used on the LAN and should not be advertised out since my ISP is NATing the traffic.
I understand that 15.15.15.0 network is a PUBLIC range, me changing my LAN address to any other address should not cause that issue.
If I am on the Orbi network, the app should be able to discover that I am using an SSID that the app knows about and configured within the app.
There are many things about the Orbi 'app' that mystify me. For example, I recently disabled WiFi on my smart phone (to use LTE data) and when I attempted to use Anywhere Access, the Orbi app said something along the lines of... "You are using Cellular Data" and refused to do it. I opened a Hot Spot with my phone, connected a tablet to the Hot Spot, and Anywhere Access was happy.
How can it possibly make any damn difference how my device is connected to the internet? (cellular data or WiFi) Chrome doesn't give a flip. Neither does email, YouTube, or anything else. Only the Orbi app.
Would it be a huge effort to temporarily change the Orbi LAN to a private IP space and see what happens?
