Orbi RBR20 setup for NBN
We've recently been connected to HFC NBN through iiNet and can't get the Orbi to work anymore.
Current setup is NBN box Arris CM8200 with Cat5 cable into the WAN port of TP link AC1600 modem/router. This provides inadequate Wifi coverage for our house.
I have tried connecting the Orbi to the TP link AC1600 via ethernet with no luck.
I have tried direct connection of the Orbi with the Arris NBN box with no luck.
I have set the Orbi VLAN to 2, and I have tried powering down all the devices for over an hour while doing the above.
The Orbi worked perfectly until yesterday when we changed to NBN.
Any ideas much appreciated!
Awesome. Glad you found the problem.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know for future reference.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

So I then just tried swapping which cable I was using, and it all works!
NBN box connected straight to Orbi, with different Cat5 cable, and everything synced.
Amazing and thanks for the help!!!

Silly question probably: After reconfiguring with Orbi connected to NBN box Arris CM8200, did you perform a power-off reboot of the equipment above your Orbi and then your Orbi itself?
Remove the TP-Link router from the mix.
