No Internet Connection - yet LAN indicates it is connected
Hello, Just bought and trying to install the RBK23 Orbi mesh router. My setup is: - Fiber internet converter > Vigor2132 modem/router from internet service provider >> RBK23 Inside the Vig...
Do you have a device that can connect to the Orbi to use the web interface? (not the "app")
such as a desktop or laptop computer? I find the web setup more useful.
p.s. You will discover that having two routers can sometimes cause problems with specific uses. Netgear describes it this way:

This should in no way interfere with the Orbi router "accessing the internet", but is a subject for discussion in the future.

Thank you CrimpOn. I tried this and via the web interface the Orbi did find the Internet :-)
I did read about the problems of two routers in one network and I will keep that in mind. When I experience connection problems I will try to use the accesspoint mode or switch the router for a mediabox I think. But for now I will first try to use the current setup, and see if this works in my case.
Thanks!
