Orbi RBK50 and Virgin Superhub 3
If anybody would like help in setting up their new Orbi optimally with the Virgin Super Hub 3 then please reply to this post.
Glad that you were able to find solutions for this particular modem. I posted my info for additional help and information is all. It's a start. Hopefully with all this information, HUB 3 users will be able to get everything working well when using the Orbi system with this modem.
You can set up the Orbi using a PC or Laptop connected to the Orbi as well, wired or wireless with a web browser. However for those having modems with built in routers, it's best to pre-configure them first before setting up the Orbi router. The options are there for review.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
Yes your right on that, in fact all your information no doubt comes from experience in this field, and I’m sure will help lots of people like me, who will possibly, at least in this field always be a novice of sorts. I just wanted a good system that decides itself what to do with all the devices so I dont have to!! My system has only been up for a couple of days so we will see how it goes. I know there are options to tweak things so I may have to learn at leat some basics moving forward.
I would like to ask one question. Should I reboot the orbi now and then, even if there doesn’t appear to be any issues?, as I have read that this is a healthy practice??

Maybe every now and then might be ok. I've not rebooted my system unless I'm doing something or testing with it. I have a friend that I set up his system earlier this year, has not had a problem and hasn't been rebooted every now and then. I presume our power outages have take care of some of this. Routers should not need rebooted every so often. Most routers work well with out reboots. If reboots seem to be needed more and more, then there maybe underlying issues that needs to be taken care of.
I would leave it and run with it for a while. It should work well.
- Thanks for the advice, I suppose it makes sense really when thinking about the old saying “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”! I shall leave all alone while well.
Enjoy it. :smileywink:
