Orbi and WEMO don't work
Installed the Orbi whole home wifi. Upgraded manually to latest BIOS. Everything is working OK (need to reboot one satellite every now and again) except the WEMO gear. Sometimes it works, most of t...
Not sure if you have done this, but I had to delete the Wemo app (iOS) and then reinstall, then redo the setup. Before that, it was hit or miss with the app connecting to the Wemo switch and/or link/bulb. Also had issue with firmware updates never finishing. All has been good since reinstalling the app and redoing the setup.
Turns out the WEMO gear doesn't respond well to ip range changers. I initially setup the device on a dlink router which defaults to 192.168.0.xxx. After installing Orbi I reprogrammed but switches were flakey and eventually went offline. Changed the default IP on Orbi from 192.168.1.xxx to 192.168.0.xxx and all switches, including reprogrammed ones starting working immediately. My guess is this wasn't a tested scenario by the folks at Belkin.
also tried uninstall/reinstall app...did not help.
during WeMo setup the app shows three networks...another WEMO bug
Thanks all!
Hope this helps someone else!
