Software/Hardware Security /Firewall/ device that works with newest orbi
So, wondering if anyone has tried any hardware or software devices or solution to add some serious protection to the Orbi AX; devices like BitDefender Box, or Rat Trap, or software solutions that are...
Keep what is working. I wouldn't change anything.

yeah, I am trying to find a soloution that wont requiore using AP mode, since so many people seem to have issues doing that; plus, a couple of these solutions would require changing dhcp assignments, and I dont want to have to "reset" all of the 55 devices on my network with new IP addresses..
I'll keep looking, thanks for the suggestions
Well you could use AP mode and set up your host router or firewall to use same IP address as your using now.
AP mode does work, RBS just need to be connected wirelessly when in AP mode. They can be connected wired however need a directly connection to the RBR. Switches are having problems in recent v10.11 FW when in AP mode with RBSs.
Good Luck.
yeah, I am using one satalite in wired backhaul, connected to a switch that is connected to the router. the oither one is connected wirelessly..
the "problem" is I get 600-800 mb WIRELESS speed all over my house with my 1 gig Cox connection, so, I hate to mess with ANYTHING, since I worked so hard to get those kinds of speeds all over the house and back yard..
thanks!

Another solution to internet security would be to have a VPN installed on the computer(s) that you use to conduct financial or private communications on. That way the packets transmitted are encrypted and even though they might be intercepted they would be unintelligible to all-even your ISP. Most VPN's utilize their own DNS servers as well so your ISP will not be able to log your activity and even if they did again it would be unintelligible. I have my RBK852 running in AP mode behind an ASUS GT-AX11000 router with my VPN installed on the router-the default mode for all devices is the internet with an exception list of those devices I wish to be on the VPN. No system and I repeat no system is entirely hack proof-you just want to make it as difficult as possible without compromising stabiltiy to the would be hacker so he moves on bypassing your network.
