Orbi RBK853 with Elgato Key Lights
Hello all. I thought I would share this in case someone else finds it usrful. I recently installed an RBK853 (base + two satelities) in my home (switching from a prior Google WiFi system). Ever...
So just an update on my end. Enabling IPv6 got the lights to appear sporadically, so that's a piece of it, but still wasn't reliable. But they really don't like working with the ax endpoints at all. I fired up an old airport express, plugged it in with an ethernet cable to the satellite, created an old wifi 4 b/g/n network for them to connect to, and magic, it all works again.
Can you please detail a little more what to do with the airport/extra router. I have an old router, how do I set it up with the Orbi to control the Key lights? Do I have to put the old router in a special mode? Can a computer on the Orbi network still control it?
- Make sure you have ipv6 turned on. With that on it just worked for me.
Sure, you put the router in bridge mode, but create a new wireless network with a different ssid. The lights connect to it, but the computer will connect to them through the bridged network.
ipv6 did not solve it for me, and I'm not a fan of turning it on your network unless you really need it (which is extremely rare) and know what you're doing.
