RBR850 ORBI blocking iPhone apps internet traffic?
Hello, I was just wondering how my Orbi RBR850 router could be blocking some apps on my iPhone, without Armor activated and no specific site or service blocking rules active in the advanced security...
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Is IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
If you have had Armor enabled, yes theres talk of after it's disabled, there is lingering code still running on it. One can try to power OFF the RBR for 30 seconds then back ON after disabling Armor. If not, yes, a factory reset will be needed and setup from scratch and this time do not enable Armor.
I don't run Armor so one reason why I haven't seen this on my 12 Max iPhone.
They are reporting the exact symptoms we see on mobiles and IPv4 devices in our house on the same exact version of Orbis.
It's almost guaranteed to be the same DNS issues that so many people are experiencing.
Lets not assume anything until there is more feedback from the poster. It's been several days since they first posted and they haven't been online since. So other there still working with it or they may have resolved it. We don't know so let them respond first. Most of the DNS problems seen on Orbi AX have been mostly reported in browsers, not in mobile devices.
