ARGH!
Brand new to Orbi and it's working great for all of the phones in the house - not so for my laptop/iPad. Same "connection not secure" situation. So I took someone's advice about traceroute on my Mac and found this:
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
1 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) 4.757 ms 7.031 ms 4.356 ms
2 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 4.367 ms 5.982 ms 6.424 ms
What now? It's been a long time since I was semi-computer literate. As someone else said, I bought an Orbi because it was "simple and easy to use"!
This RBK50 said it was updated to the latest firmware on install (3 days ago).
I have no problem using the phone app and I really wish there was a way to fix this issue there.
I'm using the "performance two-pack". The route & the satellite.
After a fruitless 50minute phone call with NetGear (40min hold time), I was simply told to call Verizon.
I think my Verizon G1100 router is competing with my Orbi RBK50v2.
Is there any way to designate proper roles to each and move on?
This seems like such a rampant issue but I've yet to find a clear solution via multiple forum readings.
Another point of inquiry:
Can't I simply remove my Verizon G1100 router and just go straight into my Verizon BIGBOX that's wired up to the brick walls of my basement?
This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
