Orbi config in AP/Bridge arrangement
Hi, I picked up a 3 unit Orbi from Costco yesterday, and pluged it all in and it worked perfectly without any configuration. But I cant seem to get into a configuration mode where I can change ...
I operate my Orbi as an access point, too. You need to have your wired network connected to the Orbi router WAN (Internet) port in order to access the setup screens. Just set it up and leave the cable in the WAN port. You can then connect other things to the LAN ports. You'll see "Good" for the Internet status.

You should also be able to access the Orbi setup screen using the DHCP address it obtains from your existing router.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
