Orbi not loading some sites or downloading Apple updates (404 message) Mac OS and iOS
Orbi RBR53, used with a Orange LiveBox 4 DSL in France. When I load some occasional pages (such as Neatgear) to ‘open’ sites (such as the local cinema) I am directed to a login. In other words, I c...
Very many thanks for your help, Furrye38 and richin-rich. Problem resolved - although in fact it was an IP conflict sorted out on the telephone with Netgear technical support. Very grateful for your support.
The solution is this simple. Watch the youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
Turn-off Wifi on your original cable modem/router combo -- in my case, Verizon FiOS. This allows your original cable modem/router to continue acting as the router and provide your network but not transmit a wifi signal.
Then on your Orbi, simply watch the video to enable Access Point mode on the Orbi (rather than it serving as a router behind your other router). Now you'll only have one wireless network (your Orbi's wifi network).
Good luck!
I believe the user already mentioned they have set AP mode.

Thank you both for your advice and suggestions. The problem is that I cannot login to orbilogin.com – it won’t accept the admin/password. After a couple of tries it defaults to asking for the serial number. This doesn’t work either. The result is that I am unable to make the change-over from Router to AP. Is the problem perhaps to do with my internet modem (Orange Livebox in France) even though I have turned off WiFi. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Try a factory reset on the RBR with wired PC connected to the RBR and walk thru the setup wizard. Setup a new password and write all important information down. Once the setup wizard is complete, you should be able to access the advanced tab/advanced settings/router and AP mode menu. Set up AP mode there.
