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.
The new modem is a Zhone Technologies Model #6729-W1-NA0CC
The incoming DSL line is from my phone company
Is this the modem?

Regarding Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, LAN to LAN and configure AP mode on the Orbi router.
Yes, it is........ but here is the other issue, I feel like a complete technological idiot. So I don't have a clue as to how to accomplsin anything you wrote. I'm "pretty sure" the old setup was Lan to Lan, but not sure how to determine if the ORBI is in AP mode. I've gone through the app, but I have seen nothing there to help.
Do you have a PC or Laptop with a LAN connection? I highly recommend that you connect a PC or laptop to the Orbi router. Use a web browser and connect to the routers web page. You can find what mode the Orbi is using under Advanced/Advanced wireless. There will be Router or AP mode listed here. You can configure the routers web page from here as well. Also you can connect to the ISP Modems web page too.
Okay, I have a laptop and an extra cable that I can hook up directly to the Orbi.
What is the web address that I should use to check the Orbi settings ?
192.168.1.1 or www.orbilogin.com
Should the ORBI be connected to the WAN port on the router or one of the LAN slots ?
Okay, so when I hook everything up and try and access the system through the laptop, it tells me that my user name and password are incorrect, then it asks me two security questions, but the only problem is we have never filled out any security questions for this system........
I just tried running and re-running the install, but it keeps coming back that the system is already installed and there is no internet connection
