Does the HDH device connect directly to the back fo the RBR? 

I tried that - by myself and with the Netgear Tech Support - and no dice. It was not recognized in the Orbi app or web UI as a wired client and the green lights kept flashing. I did this with Orbi as the first point of contact from the modem and with Orbi as a secondary router (basically swapping the R7000 back to the main router/DHCP handler and the Orbi as a client). Nothing.

 

 

Does it show as a connected device on the RBRs web page and how an IP address there? 

No. Furthermore, after switching my setup to the R7000 as the primary router - which has been the case for nearly four years and the HDHR has been fine wired to one of it's LAN ports - I'm still getting the same error and lack of internal IP assignment.

 

Swap out LAN cables with a known working cable>? 

Yep.

 

Contact the HDH mfr for additional help and information?

Yep.

I reserved an IP based on the MAC, nothing.

I'm going to try reserving an APIPA-looking address and see if that works. Silicondust Troubleshooting mentions that but more for direct interface with a PC, if I read it correctly.
