Hi, I recently purchased an orbi system version AC2200 (RBK40) and I have set everything up physically but it road blocks me when it tries to conncec to the internet saying it has no internet connec...
Would Bridge mode be the same as pass through mode. Also how may I set it up on AP mode?
Yes Bridge Mode is the same. Set that and you'll be good.
If you want to keep the ISP router/modem as the router and only use ORBI as access points login to orbilogin.com go to advanced, advanced setup, router / ap mode and choose ap mode.
I tried using the Bridge mode and it still did nothing, I have been at this since last night more help would be greately appreciated. Also I am no netowrking expert so please explain in detail what steps I may take. Again thank you in advance
Let's start with something simple. If you disconnect the Orbis and go back to the way things were, does that work? If it does, then you certainly don't have your modem/router in bridge mode.
Similarly, if you can talk to the user interface on your modem/router, then it almost certainly isn't in bridge mode. Putting a device into bridge mode switches its brains off and turns it into a straight pipe.
Check that out and report back.
When I turn on Bridge mode on it resets and I have to wait a few minutes for it to turn back on, I can still access the admin page through 192.168.0.1. Would I need to mess with DHCP? I can also still use my other devices conmnected to the old modem/router.
