Orbi RBR50 in AP-mode will not connect to internett
I have a cabled network with a modem/router from Telenor (ZyXEL 8702). I've set up the Orbi RBR50 as an access point and cabled it to the nettwork via the WAN-port. Everthing seems to work, but the O...
Thanks,
The old thread was very useful.
The RBR50 must be connected via the WAN-connector, but by choose "use fixed IP Adress (not recommended)" in AP-mode and use Google DNS 8.8.8.8 as primary DNS and Telenor DNS as sekundary it all worked out.
That manual upset also made me aware of my gateway ip adress was wrong (192.168.1.0). The setup did not let me save that, but in "Get dynamic from exsisting router" it accepted the wrong ip. I changed my Telenor router to 192.168.1.1 and everything was running smooth.
Try connecting the Orbi base to your modem using one of its LAN ports instead of the WAN ports. That was a suggestion in this old thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-router-solid-magenta-not-the-satellite/td-p/1203936/page/5

Thats how i have mine setup with a static IP address. Yes, need to make sure the subnet mask and gateway addresses are correct for AP mode to work. WAN port is needed as well for the connected.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
