Neato d6

The Orbi does not allow the access point WiFi for neato to be recognized. I’m not super savvy but I never had this “discovery” problem before we changed internet carriers

  • You are probably following the setup instructions:

    You mention recently changing internet carriers.  It could be that the previous carrier supplies "only a modem" and the new carrier supplied a "modem/router".  While this ordinarily does not cause a problem, in specific instances it can.

     

    What is the brand and model number of the current internet supplier equipment?

    Is the Orbi operating in "router" or "access point" mode?

      And the Orby is my router. And I bought a surfboard modem. My Alexa hooked up easily with the Amazon access point appearing in my Wi-Fi options. Does this seem to mean that it is a neato problem and not a router problem?

        Can you please provide the specific model number of the Surfboard modem?

        Thanks
