My work emails never gets sent or recieved when i am on the RBR50 wifi
Hi All, i recently opened up a port 0/1/1 on our juniper router at the office and basically mirrored port 0/1/0. Problem is my work email works fine on my home wifi but not when i am connected to the orbi rbr50. Third party emails come through no problem its just my work email which is the issue on this router. Does any one have any suggestions?.

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?- DwierMcIntyreAspirant
RBR50 FW: V2.2.1.210
As per the ISP router, i am new at the office and the ISP told me that the Juniper EX3300 is their router and that is actually a switch so i am confused on that side of things.

If you already have a router in front of the Orbi, this maybe a problem since the Orbi is already a router. Having two routers on the same line will cause problems and is not recommended:
Modem/Router Combo Units:
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 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
