Orbi RBR40 system working fine - but have one windows 10 pc that will not connect

Have a new (installed yesterday) RBR40 and 2 satellites.  Its working fine - and have two imacs, a pc using windows 8, the chromecast and even the vpn working happily together.

But having trouble connectioning a pc running on windows 10.

Oddly it worked happily for a few hours, but then stopped - and no amount of forgetting networks or installations and reboots and obvious firewall changes have worked.

Orbi sees the pc and lists it as connected and allowed - meanwhile the pc shows the orbi as connected, but says no internet is available through it.

Any ideas?

  • Hi Mogg,

                      Check for any static IP assigned on that PC and remove it.

  • Thanks - seem to have solved it (permanently who knows??!) by removing the vpn app from that pc.  Reinstalled and now seems fine - lets hope it lasts!
