orbi rbr50 no net or wifi when connected

Hello all, hope the community can help, ive got NBN internet, it was working fine untill last week, long story short, telstra replaced all the hardware, now my wifi routers would not connect ethernet or wifi, i rang the phone company and done serveral test, they said the wifi router must be broken so i went out and bought the orbi rbs20, it would not still connect to the net via the routers, ive have tried everything i can think of, but when i connect the pc directly to the nbn modem the internet works fine, can somebody please help, i have called the phone company and have spoken to them for serveral hours and still could not solve this problem, 

 

thanks in advance

Re: orbi rbr50 no net or wifi when connected

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here? If so, This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge 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 

 

Try option #3...

What happens if you connect the Orbi to port 1 instead of the PC (and maybe restart the modem so that it recognizes a new MAC address)?

The ISP modem needs to have it's wifi disabled if at all possible. Ask your ISP to help you with this.

Re: orbi rbr50 no net or wifi when connected

i went and bought a telstra modem, it seems to work when i wired it directly to the ethernet port on the orbi but doesnt work when its in the internet port, my phones and tv has wifi accept for the laptop, its connected directly to a lan port on the telstra modem, i tryed to switch to wifi so i can log in netgear but its not working, ive dl the netgear app but it says incorrect wifi mobile router, this router is not supported by netgear app, i have loged in the past with my laptop to block some device from using my wifi but cant seem to do it now, keeps telling me to connect to the orbi wifi network

The isp modem connection needs to be conected to the Yellow internet port on the RBR. Even in AP mode. 

What is the model# of the new modem?

QoS on Orbi is all automatic and mostly a Basic QoS from what I gather. Orbi doesn't have a more granual QoS UI for users to make configurations.
