Devices not connecting in mesh network??? Orbi RBK50
I have the RBR50V2 mesh router and 1 satelite that came in the RBK50 kit. I have read a couple of threads about this topic. I don't have a managed switch and I don't understand back haul. I think ...
That means that the AV receiver was using a Static IP rather than Dynamic IP from DHCP. And since the static IP was for a different subnet than the 192.168.1 subnet of your Orbi, it was not seen on the network. Glad you got it figured out now. Since you set the static IP to 192.168.1.90, I suggest adding that to the DHCP Address Reservations under the Advanced -> Setup -> LAN Setup page of the web interface to the Orbi. That way nothing else will get assigned a conflicting IP by DHCP if your receiver is off the network.

Thank you, everyone for your ideas!
I was thinking more about the IP address.
The reciever IP address was 192.168.182.1. It was configurable, so I changed the .1 to a .5
The app has the ability to put in specific IP addresses for which the app would search. I put in the .5 address. No go.
Everything else is 192.168.1.xxx. A 1 where the receiver had 182.
I went to the receiver and put in 192.168.1.90, then put that in the app. Voila!! It worked.
Don;t ask why or how...I have no idea. But it worked.
Thank you all again!! I love forums like these!
Cheers,
What Firmware is currently loaded?
Try this, disable the 5G SSID broadcast on the RBR, Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings, save and apply the setting. Forget the current wifi profile on the pad. "forget this network". Then disable the wifi radio on the pad for about 10 seconds then turn it on. Have the pad reconnect to the SSID it sees. This will have the pad re-connect to the SSID however it will only be connected at the 2.4Ghz frequency. Try this Yamaha app again on the pad. Does it connect then?
2.4Ghz, 5Ghz and the ethernet ports are all on the same side of the network, thus any device connected to these will see each other. Nothing on the RBR would prevent this unless you have some security setup, like Armor or Circle mabye.
Furry, thanks
I am on the latest firmware... V2.3.5.30 According to Netgear.
I did as you suggested. I disabled the 5ghz by unchecking the enable 5g.
I did as you asked on the tablet.
When logged into the router, it shows attached devices as attached to 2.4 and 5g.
I rebooted the router. I checked and the 5g is still unchecked...not broadcasting.
The attached devices still shows 2.4 and 5g devices.
I reconnected the tablet to the wifi. In the attached devices, it shows the tablet connecting via 5g.
And, no, it does not yet connect to the AV receiver.
Apparently I did not disable 5g properly.
What to try next?
Thanks again.
