The Orbi app says I have internet and the satellite is online - all green on the network map. But, the internet provider and app says my Netgear CBR750 is offline.
The ISP also has an 'app'?
Purchasing a combination modem/WiFi router is advantageous because:
- One device takes up less physical space than two.
- There is one fewer cable in the way.
- The ISP will not be charging a monthly fee for the cable modem.
The downside is that now you get to deal with cable modem "issues" in addition to typical home WiFi issues.
FURRYe38 's advice to look at the cable modem logs is a good place to start. Cable systems are vulnerable to all sorts of issues, including faulty splitters, breaks in the cable insulation, loose crimps, etc. In our area, squirrels have been known to mess up cable drops. Many of these problems are intermittent, which makes them the very devil to diagnose.
Company VPNs are special to us as users, but not to WiFi routers. As far as they know, some device on their network asked to connect to a URL on the internet and exchange weirdly encrypted packets of information. There may be an assumption that this is not a web site because the port number does not match a port typically associated with https, but using port 443 is only a convention - not an absolute rule.

No WiFi, or no internet?
