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.
We can't presume the same for this user. He's already mentioned having Armor enabled and we need to check how his ISP Modem is configured as well first before call it a DNS issue. Not everyone has this DNS issue.
I don't think everyone does, Furry. 🙂
It's fairly safe to conclude this person's mobile apps issue is DNS becuase he has the same symptoms, hardware and circumstances as so many others including myself and my issues are 100% DNS related to the orbi.
Let the post give us feedback.
