Orbi RBK53s blocking IPTV app on firestick
Hi, I recently purchased the Orbi RBK53s to improve our Wifi and the results have been fantastic, but it's blocking my iptv app on my firestick - all was working fine before the Orbi was installed. ...

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Brand and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Is the 7 series working as your main host router after the ISP modem?
What mode is the RBR50 working in? It should be in AP mode if your using it with the 7 series Orbi. Should not be in router mode.

The main router provided by my isp is the orbi 7 series. I then have the Ethernet of this router direct to the Android box which runs the IPTV app.
. The 5 series is upstairs on another direct connection in AP mode yes.
Regarding the firmware etc I already answered that part.
What do I need to change within my router for the app to work.

Something to ask your ISP for help and support. I see this is from an ISP and they are responsible for support and information regarding there HW. Some ISP get HW from router Mfrs like NG, however the ISP does there own FW development, NG doesn't. You'll need to ask them for help and support regarding what settings are needed to make this app work on there system.
