Orbi 970 AP
Hi, Why do the Orbi 973 (2 sat) in AP-Mode do not work when the internet is down? I do not understand why it would disconnect any devices? The Wifi breaks and I cannot access any LAN shares anymor...
Seems that those you block are call to the mothership. I believe I saw that back in AX land years ago. Was attempting to block auto FW updates as they were causing problems and we couldn't stop that. I happened to notice that blocking some of those URLs caused the RBR to go PINK.
You'll need to not block those if you want the system to work right. Nothing we can do with the calling home of the mother ship stuff.
What brand and model # is the host router?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
The RBR and RBS required getting a LAN IP address from a host router in AP mode. If this service is lost then nothing will get any services, internet or LAN side services. You'll need to check with the host routers Mfr for help and support regarding there product and how to troubleshoot there product when problems arise.
Actually.. this makes sense.
Thanks
Now,
Why does it not work,though, as soon as I block some Netgear URLs only. Internet is there.
