Wired devices not connecting
I have an Orbi 960 with two satellites. After firmware upgrade I had many issues. I've since done a hard reset with latest firmware and setting up from scratch. Currently I only have the Orbi route...

VLAN bridging 201 to bypass ISP modem.
Page 92 of the RBRE960 user manual describes using VLAN:
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBKE963/RBRE960_RBSE960_UM_EN.pdf
The purpose is to bypass the Orbi router Network Address Translation (NAT) process, not to bypass the modem. Packets going to those ports will be addressed to the public IP address of the router, not the LAN (translated) IP address of individual devices.
Having never subscribed to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that uses VLAN to support IPTV (nor having ever had an IPTV, either), I have no personal experience with how using this VLAN capability affects other devices connected to Ethernet ports that have been set up as described in the user manual.
Probably a good place to start is:
- Which ports are designated as VLAN 201?
- Do you actually have an IPTV that requires VLAN 201?
