New Computer Wifi
I am throwing up the white flag here. Usually I can mange to figure out connectivity issues after some online troubleshooting. However, after a week of trying to figure this out...I'm begging for h...
I don't want to jump the gun here...but I think I figured it out. After searching the web regarding my motherboard wifi, it appears simply changing a wifi configuration setting was all it took. If so, I'm going to take a cold shower and drink some wine.
Pic attached of the change from 802.11n/ac from ac to n. I feel both stupid and smarter at the same time.
I am about to reconfigure the Orbi since I (needlessly) factory reset it. Fingers crossed!
Back upstairs and running on the Orbi wifi with no issues!
One little wifi adapter setting was all it took after 2 weeks. ! thank you all for helping me narrow down that it was not an Orbi or ISP gateway issue!
Many thanks!
GREAT to hear! Now enjoy!
Unfortunately Orbi and other brand WIFI mesh systems take the blame. But since these manufacturers take so much time in making their products plug and play, the reality is they are not usually at fault. More times it is a setup or configuration problem. I'm familiar with most brands and I will say the Netgear Orbi is right at the top when it comes to easy setup. Other brands are right behind. Just following the setup instructions usually reults in a successful install.
