Help save my marriage 🤣
Heys guys Sky Q Sky hub 4.2 orbi rbr850 with 2 satellites. so I’ve tried to get this working myself but the tech terminology has me frazzled. As sky doesn’t allow bridge mode I put m...
I believe he's in router mode since I mentioned using the DMZ on the host ISP router and to try router mode on the Orbi, and he seems to have configured the DMZ for the RBR. So AP mode would not be needed for this configuration.
Cheers for the help guys
ill get all the kids to try all devices and see if there’s issues.
i checked my ps5 in the bedroom that’s connect to WiFi and it had a couple of updates for games and it had them done in 5mins
a 23gb update and another 3gb which is much faster than previously would e had.
my boys who are on xbox series x had restricted Nat and double Nat but I then changed the port in the Xbox manually and it changed to open 🤷🏻♂️
it makes me feel like I’m almost there 🤣
it’s why I posted all the pics incase a trained eye would spot something in the menus that would help
no doubt all goes to **bleep** at 4pm when the kids get home 🤦🏻♂️
double Nat
If the Orbi and Sky are both in router mode, then you definitely have double NAT. Opening ports with uPNP should work if the Orbi is in the Sky's DMZ. If you are having issues with port forwarding, then try setting up forwarding rules in both routers. In the Sky, forward them to the Orbi's "Wan" address. Then forward them again in the Orbi to the client device.
FWIW, I double-route myself. I use OpenVPN in the Orbi for remote access, and that is only available when the Orbi is in router mode. And I need to route through the Verizon router in order to connect my TV set top boxes. You should get full speeds, but there could be a bit more latency. But I don't think the kids are likely to notice.
