2 win 10 pcs wont connect to Orbi
Hello-I have a couple macbooks that are primarily running windows 10, both suddenly stopped connecting to the Orbi network over the weekend. I have other devices that connect fine to Orbi, android ph...
This may not be helpful in your situation, however.....
I discovered by accident that using the Orbi "app" sometimes (in my case) results in a device being "paused" and access control being turned ON when I had set it to off. I have no idea how this happened. The strange thing is that Orbi allows a device to connect, assigns it an IP address, but then will not let it communicate - either locally or to the Internet.
Please look on the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab->Security->Access Control and see if these MacBooks show as "Blocked" and if Access Control is turned ON.
