It's killing me that I had zero issues before, and now nothing but........
Right now I have the Orbi (yellow port) wired into the LAN1 port, so tomorrow I will disable the wireless setting on the Zhone and see if that corrects things.
Sounds good. After disabling wireless on the Zhone make sure you log into the Orbi interface and switch from Router mode to Access Point mode. It's under Advanced, Advanced Setup, Router/AP Mode.
If the storm blew out your modem, and the Orbi was wired to it, maybe the Orbi was damaged also.
No, the only part of my modem that blew was the 'wireless' component, so they told me I would have to swap that out if I wanted to use the wirless feature, which my desktop used. My kid was hard wired to the Orbi and he still had a connection. The connectivity issue didn't arise until I swapped the modems out.
