Orbi and Private Relay on iOS and MacOS
We are in the process of trying to upgrade from an older Orbi RBR50v2 setup to a new RBE371 wifi 7 system. The main reason is that Private Relay from iCloud+ stopped recently working and we have to turn it off for our devices and apps to make it out onto the internet. I thought by upgrading to the newest system and standards it would solve the issue, but we're still having the same issue and have to disable Private Replay on both iPhones and Macs to be able to receive data. This is a new and recent issue. We've tested at other houses with the same ISP but different equipment and Private Relay works fine. Is Orbi no longer compatible with Private Relay?ORBI 370 Poor Download Speeds
Hi - Just replaced my 8 year old ORBI RBR50WiFi 5 system. My WiFi speeds are no better most of the time than with that older model. Have 2 satellites, each on a different floor from my router and exactly where the old system was set up. I have 1GB fiber, get close to that wired and very occasionally on my iPhone 16 Pro when I am next to the router. Speeds vary from 300-400 down/100-300 up when I am more than 10 feet away or on a different floor from the router (closer to satellites). Netgear has had me set the channels to 161 and 11, force the firmware upgrade manually (after doing the auto one), and completely reset the system with the paper clip. Nothing helps consistently after being at this for a week. There are about 20 WiFi networks near me (standalone house in a city), but I have never had any major issues with interference. No one else is on the channels I am on. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
