Had time on the weekend and finally decided to fix my system by switching from router to AP, as my setup already has a router for fiber - well... it totally killed it:
Remember, when you change the mode of a device on your network, you don't just change one box and expect everything to work, you have to go through a strict regime for getting things up and running.
You should reboot the network in the right order.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the computers.
If that does not work, then reset the modem/router as well.
Maybe you did that. Your account of what happened does not reveal those details.
Been using the Orbi system for almost 2 years now. Currently auto-updated to .44 and it has been a nightmare. The Satellite keeps dropping internet connection but clients are still connected to it. What in the world has NG done this time? Come on guys. Most expensive hardware out there and the weak software kills the whole deal...
