Cannot connect to secondary site through Orbi
I am unable to access a secondary site when connected to the Orbi. My connection goes through a HTC modem. If i am on the HTC Wifi i have no issues. If I am on a site and I need to click a link for secondary site i get the dreaded 401 error site is not availble. Interned on the Orbi always shows as Offline yet i can get to any URL. Firmware V2.3.5.30.
Model: RBR20|Orbi AC2200 Tri-band WiFi Router

Re: Cannot connect to secondary site through Orbi
You're running 2 routers at the same time.
https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
you'd want to place either the htc modem in passthrough mode/modem only mode or the orbi in access point mode.
that'll fix the double nat and potentially your issue.
