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.
Poster, its their thread.
Hi all,
I perfmormed a fresh installation of the router and it seems this solved the issue.
Didn't activate Armor this time, so expect indeed some traces of Armor to stay in the code after switching it off in the app.
Many thanks for your support!
Thanks for letting us know.
If you feel this IS a Armor issue, I would post about this over in the Armor forum:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/NETGEAR-Armor/bd-p/en-home-armor
And advise them of what your seeing with it enabled.
I don't see this issue happening with my iPhones or anything else.
When you feel this is fully working for you, please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
