Orbi 6 blocks silicondust Homertun prime cable tuner
One of my primary uses for my network is to distribute cable channels using the HDhomerun prime box. But the Orbi mostly blocks media center and firesticks from using it. Can connect using the HDhomerun app directly on the computer but not on the firesticks or media center. Sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't. Doesn't make a difference if it's connected hard wire or not. Seems Orbi is blocking something. Coming from a Google Nest system which worked fine except it was slow. The Orbi is fast but erratic.
Rebooting didn't help. Can use the HDhomerun if connected directly to an external hub and using my TPlink access points. If I plug the HDhomerun directly in the Orbi it gets blocked so even the TPlink access can't get to the box.
Using the web interface it looks no services are being blocked. It looked like it ran fine for a day after I installed from the Web interface. When I installed the phone app it activated Armor even though I thought I was careful not to get it. Turned it off but I see some people thinks it turns off comletely. Don't know if that's related.
Any suggestions? Otherwise I guess I have to send it back.

Modem wouldn't be blocking anything. I would think the DMZ would help on this. Did you reboot the RBR and modem after setting up the DMZ?
Only other trial to do would be to put the prior router back online after the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on that router. THen configure the RBR for AP mode and see what happens.
Seems there maybe a FW issue with this certain media device. Something to contact NG support about and see. If not, you may need to find something different.
