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.

Yeah, guess I have to accept this.
But especially in AP Mode, this shouldn't cause any downtime when only the internet is down as this can happen any time. And then not have any Wifi just doesn't make sense.
But ok.
I've never seen issues with wifi connections with the orbi in AP mode, just that there is no internet should there be no internet at the ISP modem or host router that the Orbi in AP mode is connected too. Devices will have connection with the Orbi system in AP mode however just may not get internet if there is no internet services in the system.
You'll need to make just make sure there is internet services at the modem or host router...
