Nighthawk - Orbi Compability problem
Can anyone tell me if the CM1150V is compatable with the Orbi Tri-band - actually RBK43S-100N. The Nighthawk modem seems to be working fine but when I connect the Orbi system I get a connection but ...

The Orbi will provide WiFi without a network connection. If the Orbi router is powered up and not connected to the modem, the Orbi will display that ugly magenta ring saying "no internet", but the WiFi should appear. (Takes about three minutes.) The WiFi name (SSID) and password are printed on the Orbi product label. Usually the SSID is ORBIxx and the password is some random words. You should be able to connect a PC to one of the Orbi LAN ports, open a web browser and connect to "http://192,.168.1.1". The login is "admin" and the password is "password." A WiFi device should connect to the Orbi WiFi. It will say, "No Internet", but a web browser on a smart phone (for example) should be able to connect to "http://orbilogin.net" and bring up the Orbi web interface.
Can you confirm that the Orbi WiFi is (or is not) working?
