Recently I bought RBK13 Multiroom Wifi 3-pack for our home. It works fine after installation. But I still have a question about the color of the dot on the Orbi app. The router RBR10 is connected to the router of our provide, so RBR 10 acts as a bridge. On the Orbio app I see that the router RBR10 has a magenta dot, while both satelites have green dot. What I've understood is that magenta color indicates that the router is not connected to the internet. Is this correct due to the router is just a bridge? Or do I need to configure something in the router RBR10 to get a green dot? And does this have an impact on the connection if I leave it as it is (showing a magenta dot)?
As mentioned above, the Wifi connection and the internet connection through Orbi are working perfectly now in my oponion!
Looking forward to receiving your comments. Thanks.
I read the information you gave me and I realize now that some of the devices, like internet radio, do work through Orbi indeed. So I guess this is due to double NAT issue.
I want to use the modem as is, so with the wifi radios activated. Can I configure the Orbi router as another wifi access point? So, in fact option 3 without disabling the wifi radios on the modem?
The wifi radios on the modem should be disabled so they don't interfere or cause problems with the Orbi system. So yes, you can configure the Orbi for AP mode I believe which would be best for you.
As mentioned earlier, I still want to use the wifi radios of the modem. Currently both wifi radios (of the modem and the Orbi router) are active and it seems that they don't interfere each other as I do have a proper internet connection on both of them. The only thing is that the Orbi router shows a pink dot on the Orbi app.
So I will try to configure the Orbi router in AP mode anyway while the wifi radios of the modem are not disabled and see what happens. 😉
I've configured the Orbi router to AP mode and leave the wifi radios on the router activated. The internet connection via wifi of the Orbi router and of the modem is working perfectly. And on the Orbi app, the router and the satelites get a green dot now! Even the internet radio is also working.
