Mobile Phone Signal Interference
Hi, Ever since I set up my Orbi Wifi mesh system - my Mobile Phone (Samsumg Android) service / phone call clarity has deteriorated. It only happens when I am in the same room as Router (Nighthawke D...
If you set modem mode on the Modem, then power the Modem and Orbi OFF for 1 minute, then back on with the modem. Let it sync. Power ON the RBR. With a wired PC connected to the RBR, check for internet access. If still nothing, I would factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch and walk thru the setup wizard while the modem is in modem mode. The RBR should get connected here.
Hi,
I logged into my Nighthawke Router and switched to "Modem" only - and now I have no intrnet at all. I am currently online via Mobile Phone. Not sure now how to restore so I have internet and use Nighthawk as Modem only?

Thanks - this worked in setting Nightawk up purely as a Modem and the Orbi is now the router. Still have been having phone interference issues (I even connected my old Telstra Modem/Router - and still phones keep breaking up). The other problem now is - I set up the Orbi Router using my Imac - and now my Lap Top (Windows / Microsfoft) will not connect to the Orbi newtork? All other devices connect (phones TV, Tablets)
Error - is "cannot connect to this network". Trying to work that out now?
Good Luck.
