ORBI LBR20 on AT&T
A bit confused. I called AT&T with the IMEI number and was told the LRB20 was not compatible - and therefore could not be activated. I called back a second time to see if the answer would change - ...
So after spending several hours on this, I finally got my LBR20 to work using a AT&T Prepaid nano SIM card, with the $50 100GB hotspot data plan. I tried setting up the router using my iPhone and my PC to no avail. Changing the APN settings to broadband wasn’t working for me either.
What did work? I happened to have a spare Galaxy Note 10+ and said “Let’s try setting it up using that.”
Powered down the Orbi and then brought it back up.
Opened the Orbi app and ran through the setup again using the android phone. (I did not reset the Orbi prior to doing this.)
It took me through the network settings and security questions as I did on my iPhone, but at the end of the setup the device was provisioned and the mobile data is online, wifi is working beautifully.
Testing 130MB download, 28 upload. Very content with this for $50/mo.
