Lyric thermostats
I have two lyric round thermostats that I can not get to connect with Orbi. They seemed to work fine with my prior wifi router. Apparently this occurs with Nest also. I have rebooted the thermostats ...
The other thing to try is to turn off Orbi, setup your old router with the same SSID, password, and enryption as Orbi. Use the old router to change the thermostat settings to connect to the old router using the Orbi SSID/password. Then replace the old router with Orbi.
This sounds like another classic example of a device that will only connect to a single wifi band. In the case of the Lyric (like many ohters, it's the 2.4g).
Not sure how close your Lyric is to anything Orbi, but you may want to turn down the 5g signal to 25%.
I've got a Ecobee and even after switching from my old Asus to the Orbi, it never missed a beat. So it sounds like some devices and Orbi are buddies whereas others don't seem to get along. It's like the Ecobee told Orbi..."I can only connect at the 2.4G band, here's the password, so please let me in..."
