Orbi internet access from different IP ranges
The connection is -
Internet -> Orbi -> Switch -> WAN Checkpoint 1550 LAN -> Device
The orbi, switch and WAN checkpoint sit in the 192.168.1.0/24 range. The Checkpoint LAN range is 10.146.1.0/24.
The orbi has a static route to 10.146.1.0/24 via the WAN checkpoint.
If I do NOT NAT at the WAN checkpoint there is no internet connection - essentially it seems the orbit is only NAT'ing the 192.168.1.0/24 range and nothing else. If I use an draytek (not using it as the WAN throughput is lower than the orbi) it works fine without NAT'ing.
Any ideas how to get it working?

Re: Orbi internet access from different IP ranges
Contact the Mfr of that WAN Checkpoint device.
Put the WAN checkpoint device IP address it gets from the Orbi into the Orbi's DMZ.

Re: Orbi internet access from different IP ranges
Thanks, marking the checkpoint as the DMZ didn't work, still need to NAT. Just to be clear this issue is NOT specific to the checkpoint, I can swap the checkpoint for cisco device and have exactly the same issue. HOWEVER if I swap the orbi out for, example, a draytek or cisco device it works.
I assume Orbi is dropping traffic that isn't part of it's "LAN" range.

What happens if you use the Orbi system in AP mode?
