I bought the Orbi (actually a RBR40 and RBW30 satalite) a month ago. I have a VPN through work. Wokred great until yesterday. I can connect to the VPN - but can not connect to the remote desktop once connected to the VPN. I am not a techy person - but am hoping this is a simple fix. Can anyone give me any ideas? I have reset the router& modem. Did not help. As far as I know, no settings have changed on my laptop. Would it be my internet provider (WOW internet)? Strange it worked great untl yesterday.

Do you mean that you can't connect to your work VPN from your laptop which is attached to Orbi?
If this is the case then it can be something in your laptop or the destination VPN server or remote desktop. The only thing I can think of to be wrong in your internet are:
- Firewall settings in Orbi, but since you're sure you did not change anything in Orbi then this is not it
- IP forwarding issue caused by conflict between your ISP modem/router nd Orbi. Is your Orbi set in AP or Router Mode? Is your ISP modem/router bridged?
I can connect to the VPN - but not to the remote destop. I can do everything while connected to the VPN (email, internet, etc.) but connect to the remote desktop. If I use my phone as a hotspot or got somewhere else with wifi - I am able to get acces to remote desktop through the VPN.
