RBR750 - Minecraft "Unable to Connect to World" on LAN
Hi
Purchased a new RBR750. Kids can connect to external Minecraft servers and worlds, but can no longer connect to worlds that they create and play together on the LAN. We can see the world, but get an "Unable to Connect to World" error when trying to connect. Tried connecting iPad to Switch, iPad to iPad, etc.
We didn't have this problem with the old router that we replaced. Parental Controls and Armor are turned off.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I don't use or know Minecraft, but guesses:
* On iPad and iPhone devices, click into the wifi network and switch off "Private Wi-Fi Address". This is set per network so might be different from your previous router's network.
* Found this other iPad Privacy Minecraft setting - Navigate to the "Privacy" folder then the "Local Network" option, under there set "Minecraft" to "on": https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/re-minecraft-pocket-edition-for-ipad/340467fe-00a1-4e17-8eaf-aa6e6fd0946f

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.Firmware is 4.6.11.1_2.3.6. ONT is Adtran 424. Using the CAT5 that came with the router.
Do you have any of the following enabled?
Armor or Smart Parental controls?
CAT6 would be recommended between the ONT and RBR.
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
