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 g...
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
Armor and Parental Controls are turned off.
I rebooted both RBR750 and ONT, but no change. Have not upgraded CAT5 to CAT6 yet; will do when I can.
Strangely, no problems connecting to internet and external Minecraft Worlds/Servers/etc.; just anything local won't connect. We can see local "Worlds", connection begins, and then we get the "Unable to Connect to World" error. Have no other problems with the set-up, mind you the only thing we do with the LAN is printing and Minecraft. Printing has been without problems.

That was it! Not the router after all.
Investigating further, Minecraft was re-installed around the same time the Orbi was setup, hence the confusion.
Thanks very much for the help. Cheers.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
