Router connects to Internet, Orbi won’t

Hi,

 

i have a Calix 813 wireless fibre router. Everything on this router works well, can connect to the internet, email etc. I then added the Orbi RBK50 to extend WiFi. Setup was easy. I can connect to the Orbi WiFi, email comes through fine but can’t connect to most websites. Www.google.com is fine but most websites I get a screen that “Authentication Required”. This doesn’t happen when connecting to the Calix router WiFi. 

 

I presume it it is a Calix router setting - but what? 

 

Thank you

Troubleshooting

    Hello SimonZA

     

    Did you set up the orbi in AP mode?
