Re: Full configuration of DHCP and other network services
Bocaboy, my estimation is wirecould be close 100 ft long but considering 20 year old house and potentially inferior quality of wire used bybuildersmay be causing t-mobile gateway to not recognize an orbi router on the other end. What you are suggesting seems to be logical reasoning behind issue I was facing. Thanks for all the inputs!36Views0likes0CommentsRe: Full configuration of DHCP and other network services
Bocaboy, I don't want to put it in AP mode so that I can use parental controls. I took out orbi rbk50 from junction box and plugged in a different ethernet cable directly to WAN port of orbifrom arcadyn instead of using wire going inside the walls of my house to the junction box, and it resolved my above issues. I am not sure why using the pre wired ethernet cable going inside the walls was causing these issues and I was using same cable for orbi satellite for backhaul without issues. Probably that cable goes through some switch or something that causes the issues? But with plugging another short cable directly to orbi works and everything is looking good right now including parental controls.30Views0likes0CommentsRe: Retaining the Router Function of My Orbi Mesh Network with the T-Mobile Home Internet 5G Gateway
Folks, is Orbi router working fine for you in router mode with Orbi WAN portconnected with arcadyan LANport? I am having issue with rbk50where devices are not getting internet when they are given 192.168.1.x IP by Orbi router.29Views0likes0CommentsRe: Full configuration of DHCP and other network services
I am facing issue where I keep Orbi mesh router in Router mode as I use parental controls, and there is no internet detected by Orbi on WAN port on Orbi web admin screen when I connect it to Arcadyan. Interestingly, if I select 'available via Orbi' Wi-Fi in android phone's available WIFI connections for Orbi router, device gets 192.168.12.x IP address and it works fine, but when I select regular Orbi Wi-Fi, device gets 192.168.1.x IP and no internet is available on it. So somehow Orbi is giving out 192.168.12.x IP to some devices even though Orbi is in router mode! Is this due to double NAT or IPV6 or something that is beyond my basic networking understanding? I see all devices given 192.168.1.x IP address by Orbi in admin UI, but I also see some devices given 192.168.12.x IP address in Arcadyan android app devices tab for the devices that can get internet through Orbi. I have not disabled Wi-Fi on Arcadyan and not sure if that contributes in any way to my issues. Any inputs on my situation are highly appreciated.18Views0likes0Comments
