Nest Thermostat with Orbi - Unable to Connect
Hi, I have two Nest thermostats that refuse to connect to my Orbi. I spoke with Nest tech support and they said that this is a known issue and that I need to enable ports 80, 443, 9443, 9543. How do ...
It's working! Odd, but after I put the Orbi in AP mode and completely disconnected from the Internet (whoops), I reset the Orbi to get back to square one and after setting it up I noticed that the Nest downstairs was connected. I went upstairs and tried to connect the other Nest and...it worked! All I did was reset the Orbi after putting it in AP mode in error.
One of my Nest's did have a message that it was last updated on January 24, so maybe that has something to do with it too.
Thanks all!
I also have a Nest Thermostat. I don’t recall having to anything special to connect it to Orbi. It just worked after scanning WiFi, selecting it, and entering the password from the Nest. My Orbi setup is also in wireless AP mode (wireless AP from cable modem/Xfinity is disabled).
I'm on the current latest firmware 2.1.2.18 FWIW. Installed same day it was released and haven't had any issues with any any of the connected devices.
