Orbi rbr750 geofencing issue
Hi, is anyone experiencing geofencing issues with their Orbi products? 3 of my apps that control heating and security relies on geofencing. When I’m at home those apps notify me that I’ve left the vi...
My point exactly. Once the phone running the Arlo app learned where the WiFi system was (for 9nine months), it took some time for it to "re learn" the new location (back home again). Now that the app has adjusted, there is nothing else required.
If you ever feel the urge to "do something goofy", I'd love to hear what happens if you perform that experiment.
Thank both for your suggestions.
The double nat may have been part of the issue. My ISP router cannot be turned directly into a bridge however I did turn off the WiFi which stemmed the problem temporarily.
Checking a few ‘what’s my address’ sites it was sporadic but one was if my previous address.
Just to note, and maybe I should’ve mentioned it earlier, but I moved home last week bringing my Orbi with me.
With further googling there’s a possibility my Orbi was holding onto my previous location?

Not sure if this is useful or relevant but I thought I’d share it.
My geo fencing has seemed to calm down and back to expected behaviour.

Just turning OFF the wifi radios on the ISP router doesn't stem the doubt NAT issue. To better help with this, be sure you use the ISP routers DMZ or IP Pass-thru for the Orbi router to better ensure there is seamless internet transition from the ISP router to the Orbi router and avoid any odd internet service issues. DMZ or IP-Pass-thru helps with double NAT issues.
