Orbi RBK53 and Comcast XB3 Set-Up -- It's Finally Working but is It Correct?
Yesterday I replaced my aging Apple Airport Base Station (and Time Capsule) with an Orbi RBK53 (router and two satellites) from Costco. My ISP is Comcast via an XB3. Powering up and placing the Orbis...
Ya, thats Comcast hotstop stuff. They dont' really want you to disable that. I don't care for that kind of service.
Can you access the modems UI?
Might be someting to consider, BYOM.
Back through the AP Mode change process and it does the same thing it did the first time: Allows me to choose "AP Mode," asks me to click on "Apply" (which I do), gives me message that "this might take a few minutes," then again asks me for my user name and password that takes me right back to the "Router/AP Mode" page. I figured this meant that I was good to go and that this was an option to go back to "Router Mode" but maybe it just isn't accepting the change for some reason. Good grief.
clear the browser cache the try the UI again...something isn't getting set right...Use IE11 or FF or Opera browsers.
Have been trying on FF but will attempt with Safari.
I cleared the browser cache. Safari and Opera (IE 11 is not longer available for Mac.), result is the same. The "Router/AP Mode" page comes up and shows "AP Mode" is selected. Hitting "Apply" again takes me through the same route I've described and I always come back to the starting page. Both Comcast and Orbi continue to appear in the drop down list as options on an computer or device I check. IE 11 is not longer available for Mac. I guess my only choices are to keep everything as is until I decide to change course and Bridge the Comcast and re-set-up the Orbi to be the router.
