Orbi RBK50 SSID not in list
I'm trying to set up the Orbi RBK50 system (so, to be clear: it's new and straight out of the box). The first 2 steps in the quick-start guide went without a hitch: I end up with a blue light. But th...
Well, if you can reach the login screen but cannot log into the router using the default username/password then something is very wrong. If done properly, the reset will restore the default login credentials. You must hold down the reset button for a long time until the power LED starts blinking amber for the reset to be effective.
I have something to add to my post: it's not entirely true that nothing new shows up in my network list, a "hidden network" shows up when the Orbi's connected. However, connecting through it using the Orbi's SSID and password doesn't work. Some research has shown me it's apparantly what the Orbi Router uses to connect with the Orbi Satellite, so at least there's proof it's communicating (but then again, the blue light also does this).
Also, from trying out today, I've found something peculiar: when the Orbi's connected, the digital TV signal becomes absolute rubbish. Artifacts everywhere, sound working only like once a second, etcetera. Disconnected the TV signal to see if maybe the Orbi's SSID doesn't show up due to a conflict, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
