Until recently, I had my Orbi connected to my FiOS gateway and had no issues with both wifi systems being active simultaneously, allowing me to put my work machines on the Orbi network and home automation and smart TVs on the FiOS Wifi. Something has changed that is causing certain, but not all, websites to generate 404 errors on the Orbi wifi that are visible on the FiOS without problems.
I see notes to disable the FiOS wifi, and/or to change the Orbi to AP mode or add it to the DMZ on the FiOS router. Is there no way to retain both Orbi wifi and Fios Quantum wifi? Is there any setting on the Orbi that can be changed? I don't really want to lose the flexibility of having the multiple SSIDs and networks.
IF you want to run both wifi systems, you can try this to see if it will help, be sure to set one routers wifi to channel 1 on 2.4Ghz and Orbi to channel 11. Same for 5Ghz. Use far appart channels. Place the Orbi far apart from the FIOS router. More than 10 feet.
If you want to run the Orbi in router mode, be sure to use the DMZ for the RBR on the FIOS router. Or use the Orbi in AP mode.
