I bought the ORBI RBK23W/AC2200 unit. I used mobile app and tried to install according to instructions on app. But.....After I made connection to ORBI router and power supply, it just sits there. The white light went through it's sequence and then went out. My phone app is sitting on next and won't go pass this point.
So now I am reconnected to the N900 router and have a paperweight. Any suggestions on connectivity to ORBI.
