New Orbi Installation Fail
I have a Netgear N900 Wireless dual band router that works fine within 1000 sq ft.
I want to extend my range to 3500 sq ft.
I bought the ORBI RBK23W/AC2200 unit. I used mobile app and tried ...
So you are keeping your original router and using Orbi as an AP?
Or are you removing your old router and replacing with Orbi?
Regardless of above, what is the make/model of your modem that your previous router is connected to?
Am relacing the Netgear N900 router with the Orbi.
Have a new ARRIS DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem Model SB6183.
the new modem works with the N900 router but when I switch out to ORBI router..it doesn't work.
I have rebooted modem, desktop and ORBI various times
I think it would be best to install it using a PC and being wired to Orbi... do you have that capability?
I will try that tomorrow. I tried various scenarios today. Start fresh tomorrow. This for the suggestion.
