Orbi RBR850 - can't run Amazon Prime Video and IPhone wifi calling fails to send voice
I purchased the latest Orbi from BestBuy, seemed to work fine. But tried to strean Amazon Prime Video, and it fails, on any device (two tv's and ipad). Also found that when making a WIFI call, the pe...
Are you factory resetting the RBR when you downgrade or upgrade FW then setup from scratch?
Currently streaming 6 Underground on Netflix on my PC connected via D-LInk DWA-192 to the Orbi AX wifi. Though my Orbi is in AP mode behind a XR450 connected to a NG CM1100 modem only.
Can you try your Orbi AX in AP mode to see if the streaming and downloading problems change?
I have not tried to configure in AP mode. Some of my devices like the hunter cieling fans are a pain to reconfigure. I suspect that once I put in AP mode things will work because the orbi just becomes another device to teh att router without any bridg But I would nee to reconfigure a bunch of devices. Netgear recommends the Bridge mode as the best approach. if I go AP mode then ATT router would be responsible for DHCP which mean al of my devices will get a new IP. Both Hunter and Cby GE are a pain to setuo. i still dont get why the downloads worked on the older firmware
other have trie dteh factory reset an dnothing seems to work.
If you configure AP mode, you wouldn't have to setup anything. You can use the same SSID name and PW on the RBR. The only thing you would have to do after AP mode was setup on the RBR and configured would be that you would have to power cycle all devices once, say for 30 seconds, then back on. they will reconnect to the Orbi's wifi and get a new IP address from the ISP modem automatically. You won't have to setup any devices again. The RBR has router mode and AP mode. There is no bridge mode.
