Failure to get internet IP with Metronet Fiber ONT - Orbi Router RBR50v2
Power cycle modem. Power cycle Orbi. In all order. Factory reset. Netgear support. Nothing worked. My Orbi wifi router will no longer get a WAN (internet) IP from the Metronet Fiber ONT devi...
UPDATE: I was able to resolve my issue. Here are the steps I took:
1. Connected Macbook directly to the Metronet ONT, which provided working internet.
2. Went into Macbook network settings, then to TCP/IP tab. Renewed the DHCP Lease.
3. Connected the factory reset RBR50 to the Metronet ONT.
4. Connected Macbook to the ORBI and went into ORBI settings using the IP address.
5. Completed the ORBI new product setup
I don't know if the DHCP renew was what did the trick or if I just got lucky, but it worked.
Cficklin31, good workaround trick!
Did you enable "Automatically adjust for daylight savings time"?
If you're not in DST zone, turn it off. Otherwise enable it, but switch NTP server from default NETGEAR to time.google.com to see if the problem comes back again after current DHCP lease expires.
