ORBI RBR50 Does not work w/Verizon 4G LTE Home Router
I have switched mode to AP, and it shows all the devices, verizon router sees the ORBI, but nothing can actually get to the internet that connects to the ORBI. ORBI is connected from its yellow inte...
MSWENSON , I finally figured out how to get my Netgear Orbi connected to the Verizon 4G LTE home router. Here are the details in case you haven't gotten yours working yet.
I enabled the DMZ and turned off all the WiFi on the LTE Router. I tried putting the Orbi in both AP and Router mode. AP mode would sometimes allow a short amount of access to the internet but only a few mins then it would stop. I really wanted to use the Orbi as a router to manage DHCP so I turned off DHCP on the LTE router and put the Orbi in Router mode. However, I still couldn't access the internet through the Orbi.
What I finally discovered to get this it all to work properly was I had to turn off all the ALG security settings which are under "NAT Forwarding->ALG" in the LTE Router. I stumbled upon these settings in the router and did a some internet searching and from what I learned, none of these settings were needed, so I turned them off as a way to see if perhaps they were causing the router to block traffic from my Orbi router. Sure enough, they seemed to be the culprits. After disabling them, all my devices were able to get to the internet through my Orbi and speedtest download is faster than ever! I'm now getting consistent 50Mbps down from all locations in my house and it's been stable without requiring any reboots for a couple days now. The upload speeds are still somewhat shaky, but seem to avg between 2 and 4 Mbps. Acceptable but not ideal for multiple video chats or gaming sessions but that's not a common occurrence in my house, Yet.
Hope this helps you!
