ORBI and Frontier FIOS (Quantum G1100 Router) Internet Drops
I have the Orbi RBR50 (Router + 2 satellites) with v1.10.1.2 connected in AP mode to my Frontier FIOS Quantum G1100 Router, with the FIOS Wifi disabled. My internet, wifi AND the FIOS router ethernet, drops for approximately 6 seconds every 15 minutes, to the second. I am running Net Uptime Monitor that tracks drops greater than 5 seconds. This affects the devices connected directly to the FIOS Router via ethernet LAN. This is not really noticeable with regular internet activity, but is definitely a problem with PS4 online gaming and my Ooma VOIP phone connected directly to the FIOS router. Otherwise, the internet signal and connectivity are great. If I disconnect Orbi from the FIOS Router, the internet failures cease to happen. I have confirmed that BEAMFORMING and MU-MIMO are disabled. Any ideas before returning the Orbi to Costco? Thanks!Using Orbi with Cat6 home network and Verizon Fios Gigabit
Hi - looking for advice on how to best set up my Orbi system with a newly installed Cat6 home network and Verizon Fios Gigabit internet in a 3-storey wood frame row house. At the moment we have our Verizon modem (Fios Quantum Gateway Router) connected via ethernet cable to the main Orbi router in the basement, and I have 1 x Orbi satellite positioned on each of the upper 2 x floors. Wi-FI on the Fios router has been disabled and AP mode has been applied to the Orbi network as per guidance in various posts - the network operates as expected and performance is relatively solid, though up/down speeds are generally lower than I would hope for with the Fios Gigabit connection. As mentioned, we recently installed a Cat6 network in the house so I am wondering if I can take advantage of it to establish direct physical connections between the main Orbi router and the satellites - plug the main Orbi router into the network patch panel in the basement, and then plug each of the 2 x Orbi satellites into their own ethernet port on the upper floors so communication between the 3 x units is fully wired? I'm no expert, but in theory it seems like this should work and provide a much more robust network than if Orbi system is fully wireless. Any advice/suggestions very much appreciated!Orbi with Fios in AP mode
Following some other threads I have setup my Orbi to operate in AP mode in order to work with my Fios router. I seem to have successfully done this - how do I get connected to the internet? I have the IP Address for the Orbi - where do I put this to get internet access? I really don't know what I'm doing and have simply followed instructions from the Netgear websiteOrbi with Fios in AP mode
