Orbi and switch setup.
Hello, I just have a quick question. I just set up my new network config today at home. I have fiber internet installed, so I basically just have a cat 5 cable coming into the house. I plug that into...
I have almost this same setup. Did you ever get it up and running. If not try to unplug the switch from power and ethernet from Orbi. If you just switched routers and never power cycled the switch all your hard wired devices think they are still on the old network. Replug in the power and ethernet from Orbi. And you should be go to go.

I did get it working! I basically did exactly what you mentioned. I unplugged everything and turned the WiFi off on all of my devices. I then booted up the Orbi and then the satellite. Then I connected to the Orbi with a computer and finished the network setup. I then booted up the switch, and turned on the wireless devices one at a time and everything is now working!
Thank you for the response, I appreciate it :)
Glad everything worked out.
