Orbi AXE11000 w/ HomeKit and Eve energy smart plugs. Bonjour/mDNS being blocked so no Thread network
Running firmware 6.0.3.85 and have Apple TV (2nd gen) and HomePod mini as Border Routers (15.6). Eve Energy plugs will not switch from Bluetooth to Thread over several weeks now. Tried running with default Orbi settings for several days and then tried changing these settings over the period of 2 weeks with no luck: (* these suggestions came from Netgear Support)
-Enabled IPv6 on Orbi
-Disabled ax on 2.4 band*
-Changed 2.4 channel from Auto to channel 1.
-Disabled SIP ALG
-Disabled WMM 2.4 and 5 GHz
-Turned down power output to 25%
-Reset HomePod and added back in on the IoT network*
-Turned off Armor security
Eve support suggested turning off Beamforming and Airtime Fairness but those setting are no longer accessible in Orbi 960 settings. I have 20 Eve plugs and a large house. Bluetooth is just not cutting it. The whole reason I bought the Eve was for the Thread capability. Any suggestions? Thanks!
