Cannot find Orbi Router IP address
I setup a Orbi router (RBR50) and satellite (RBS50) last weekend with my FIOS router. The Orbis system is AP mode and the FIOS wifi is turned off. I'm connecting with ethernet cable from FIOS port to ...
It's possible. It's behaving like the FIOS router is blocking the Orbi and refusing to give it an IP address. You should be able to create a static DHCP mapping on the FIOS which maps a specific IP to the Orbi Router based on its MAC address.
If that still doesn't work, you probably should just reset the Orbi and start over.
I was able to see the Router IP again when connected directly to the router and Wifi on laptop turned off. I did manually set the laptop IP to 169.254.98.90 but still could not ping the router IP or login to it.
Is it possible I messed something up when I initially setup the Orbi's? Before I did the setup, I manually upgraded the FW on both the Satelite and Router. But then again the Orbi App did work at one point this past week.
