3 TopicsOrbi not compatible with Netflix?
Netflix just won't work with the new Orbi. We're getting an error message stating that it looks like we're using an unblocker or VPN...we're not. The guy at Netflix told my wife that, in effect, Netflix doesn't work with Orbi because of the way devices switch between one unit and the other to get the best signal, or something like that. I switched back to our older Netgear router and everything's perfect. All software is up to date. I'm semi-computer-literate but I can follow directions! Has anyone run into this? Is there a fix?SolvedNo Such File or Directory
My Orbi connection works great on most occasions, however sometimes while browsing the web a site will give me "No Such File or Directory" If I switch routers I can visit the site. I also can't get Netflix or Amazon Video to work from my Orbi using my Roku or IPad. This is the main reason I purchased the Orbi.SolvedSlow Netflix Speeds on TiVo Wired to Orbi Satellite
I have an Orbi system set up with the router in my basement, Satellite 1 on the first floor and Satellite 2 on the second floor. Wireless speed is pegged at 120 Mbps down for devices where I can measure speed (iPads, iPhones, HP desktop, lenovo laptop) when connected to satellites or router. Wired to Satellite 2, with wireless adapter turned off on the desktop and laptop each show 1Gbps connection and internet download speeds pegged at 120 Mbps. Here's my issue. I have a TiVo Bolt+ wired to Satellite 1 and a TiVo mini wired to Satellite 2 (both with cat6 cables). Through the Netflix app on the Bolt+, I consistently see 33 Mbps download speed wired AND wireless when I disconnect the cable. Through the Netflix app on the Mini, I see 6 Mbps download speed wired. Has anyone else seen speed download limitations with TiVos connected to Orbis in this way? Any solutions?
