Hello since I have fios i tried to set up orbi as an access point but it still didn't work. I am not able to log into the router from a pc. The power LED by the power switch in the back is blinking green and the ring LED on top of the router is constant white and it always constant white. The satilite starts up as white then blinks white then goes solid purple after a few minutes. Since I use fios i need to disable wifi on my old router and set up the orbi as an access point correct? that is what I've been doing and I've also plugged in the internet cable into the internet port of the orbi router and then my coumputer ethernet cable into a lan port but still no luck. Only thing that kind of worked was i set a static ip in my lan card and was able to ping it but I couldn't log into the orbi router or log onto the netgear network to make it work. Think i should upgrade the firmware? I've done a hard reset many times to factory default and that didn't help either. thanks
