How do you set up an access point for the Orbi RBK50v2, so that I can access the Orbi from my PC
I cannot access my Orbi RBK50v2 through my computer, using (1) orbilogin.com, (2) orbilogin.net, or (3) the ip address of the Orbi router (192.168.0.5, assigned by my modem). I've tried multiple bro...

Thank you all for your quick responses. Very much appreciated.
I was able to configure my Orbi to an Access Point, and now I can login to the Orbi from my computer.
My ISP provider is TDS Telecom, and it is a fiber connection. My modem from TDS is an Actiontec, and I have its wi-fi capability disabled. My home network has direct Ethernet cable runs from the ActionTec modem to my TV box, my media computer, and my main network switch. My Orbi is connected to the network through one of the network switches.
For whatever reason, TDS assigned the gateway IP address on the ActionTec modem as 192.168.0.1, and all of my connected devices have IP addresses in the order of 192.168.0.x. My Orbi has been assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.3.
The Orbi's main unit and satellite give me excellent wifi coverage and strength across my entire 2.3 acres property. I believe that I made the right choice in purchasing the Orbi, and this vibrant support community makes my choice even better.
Thanks again.
