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.
It's connected to the Modem via LAN port. I'm trying to access the modem to setup the reservation, but I can't seem to access it.
Okay, so here is where I am at. After wasting a **bleep** load of time on the phone with my ISP's tech support, including getting hung up on by a Tech who was clueless, they have no idea how to 'reserve' an IP address and kicked the can to Netgear, saying this could be done through the ORBI. Before I go screwing around in settings, because I don't want to screw things up even worse, here is a look at the Zhone Modem LAN setup, can it be done through this and if yes, how ?
Yes, you can reserve an address by clicking "Add Entries" under Static IP Lease on the page you showed. But... forget about that and forget about the DMZ. The Zhone appears not to have a DMZ feature nor a bridge mode.
Just disable wireless on the Zhone under Wireless, Basic. Then plug the Yellow Internet port on Orbi into a LAN port on the Zhone. Log into Orbi. Switch Orbi to Access Point mode.
