Connect 2 Orbi RBR40 routers together

There was no choice for RBR 40 but we have 2 of them. Prior to me arriving at this home it looks like they were using them to gain internet access at the far end of the home. Can someone tell me how to set these up, pair them or direct me to a manual. Looks like this is an older model. Is there problems with continuing to use this model? Thanks for any assistance

  • I actually made a mistake in the description above. One is RBR40 the other is RBS40

    AFter you connect the Orbi router to the ISP modem, turn ON the router and satellite and connect a wired PC to the Orbi router. Using a web browser, navigate to orbilogin.com and begin to walk thru the setup wizard. This will help you get the router and satellite connected. 

     

    Also download and review the installation guide from NG support site as well for additional help and information. 

     

    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router will be connected too?

      Hi thanks for your response. Its asking for log in information which cannt be found anywhere. Is there a way to completely reset the whole system? Start as if no one had ever set up before?

        Yes, press in the reset button in back of the Orbi router. Hold it until the top of the Orbi router turns AMBER, then let go. The setup wizard should be presented. Be sure to write down important information here for safe keeping.

        Is this model# or the wifi SSID? 

        Look on the sticker on the modem for Model# information. I'm not seeing this particular value listed as a model#
