Cannot connect Orbi router to existing wifi
hey guys, I am trying to set up my new orbi (rbk50) system and I am having a difficult time connecting to my current wifi, or I guess making it an access point. I have a lot of deadspots in the house...
so do you have ethernet running from your current router to the orbi router ?
if no you need to
if yes you then turn off the wifi in your current router and run the orbi routyer in ap mode behind the current router and connected by ethernet you then use the orbi router for all wifi and the current router as just your router
