Connecting Orbi to iAquaLink pool system

As a quick safety precaution I unplugged the att router, orbi and sat then plugged them all back in and I believe that resolved it.

If you unplugged the Orbi and back in and previous settings were not saved, thats a problem. Any power OFF, unplug or just a reboot of the router, settings should persist thru these operations.
If this is happening on your system, I would try the following, manual FW re-load using a web browser and download the FW file for the router. Apply and after it's back to ready, factory reset and setup from scratch. Make some changes and test the persistence of settings after doing a un-plug and plug back in to power it on. If the settings are not persisting, then the unit would be faulty and you should ask about an RMA.
