New RBK23 System Installation

I currently have a Fios-GT1100 running my home wireless. I want to add the Orbi RBK23 system, but have it setup with the same SSID that my Fios has so that I don't have to change all of my devices. ...

Thanks.

In order to do this right, I did a factory reset on the Orbi Router and both satellites.

Now, however, from the app (or any device actually) I can no longer find the default Orbi SSID (Orbi64).

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Scott

Can you use a wired PC and web browser to log into the RBRs web page at 192.168.1.1?

    I will try that in a minute. 

    I just went around are reset each device again and the Orbi64 SSID seems to be there.

    I may not have held in the reset button long enough.

      15 seconds press then release is recommended. :smileywink:
