Ok. I have read everything above and followed all the links. I apologise for speaking in simplistic terms but here are current questions. One of the links took me to a 15 page thread that got into a lot of very technical stuff re versions, updates, bugs, reprogramming radios through direct logins, etc. I dont have time or skills for that so have to hope that something less technical can fix my problem.
So far, from the discussion, it seems having double DHCP, firewall, etc is the suspected culprit according to some contributors. Others seem to imply that the wireless 6 technology is the culprit and if I turn off all wireless from the tmobile router modem, the double DHCP issue may not be a true problem. Each device has its own basic (I know this is the wrong term) address that I use to get to their web interface and they are different, so having that IP address be the same in both devices is not an issue. Some strongly advise AP mode which would fix the double issue. My question re AP mode is whether it fixes the possible wireless 6 issue? Going to AP mode is labor intensive in terms of what appears to be creating a new network and reconnecting everything. I have a suspicion that the wireless 6 issue is the culprit and perhaps does require very technical patches etc as in the long thread mentioned above. If I am right, then hardwiring seems the easier solution. People dont like power adapters but theoretically it supplies a hardwire fix. The one SB radio I have plugged in on ethernet to the Orbi is still going strong. I am going to experiment with it using an old power hardwire adapter I use for a weather station. This has been working fine for years. (This could be a Saturday night live routine pretty soon.) Many suggest the LMS needs to be hardwired. But my LMS is on a computer that is on the wireless Orbi mesh system and it is speaking to the hardwired SB radio just fine. I plan to try to hardwire the LMS computer to the Orbi and then experiment with an SB radio on the orbi wireless to see if that combination makes a difference. So, my current questions are: is it worth trying AP mode if you believe wireless 6 is the issue? Are there other types of adapters for each SB radio other than powerline adapters that will convert or transform the wireless 6 signal into the older version of n protocol wireless signal? I saw some links to wireless extenders that plugged into power, then appeared to have a hard wire ethernet cable into a device. I am wondering if these might tame the wireless 6 issue. I have no idea what they are doing in a super technical way in converting the wireless signal into something going through a cable. Sorry not to be an IT pro, but probably there are other civilians who can perhaps follow some of this and figure out fixes for the non-technical SB system fans. Thank you in advance.
