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.
The RBE973 is one heck of a system to just be using in AP mode.
I'm curious to about this gateway that you have managing it. It must be pretty amazing or having something you need from it to be letting it host everything.
