I'm going to try that tomorrow st_shaw - I already put away the cable and my brain is toast right now. I'm pissed about not being able to game tonight and vent my rage *LOL*
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.
YOU ARE THE MAN (OR WOMAN) !!!!!!!!!!!!! :robotlol:
Seriously, the hard reset worked !!! Everythings back and function as before.
I owe you !!
Glad it's working again. Now you can go back and decide to use DMZ on your ISP modem if you wanna use the Orbi in Router mode or change to AP mode. If its workng for now, I'd leave the Orbi where it's at and set up the DMZ on the modem for the Orbi router.
Glad I could be of help. Enjoy.
M here. :smileytongue:
Well, I decided to not mess with it, as it was working great, but today we lost power and now I am having an issue with it connecting to the modem. again. So, I'm gonna re-do everything and see what happens.
DMZ should help this time...
I'm actually having a hard time trying to even get into the ORBI. I did a re-set, thinking that would help, but I can't even login to the ORBI management system to even check the settings. It keeps asking for name and password, but won't accept them. Either the generic admin / password combo or the one I set up and is saved to auto login.
