Orbi rbr50 v2 can't access router to change channel
Router works fine with 1 satellite. I wanted to change from channel 48 on 5ghz. I go online type in my ip for my router and it does not respond. I have confirmed I am using the proper router ip (ipv4 id). It should normally respond asking for my id and password (such as ADMIN for id). I can't access any of my router settings. Help??

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.What does the wired PC get for an IP address from the RBR?
192.168.1.1 work in a web browser?
Try a different web browser or different PC?
Thanks for response. The firmware is v2.7.4.24. I went to Spectrum and got their latest router ES2251 by Sercomm, I tried what you said and used my laptop instead of my desktop as was able to access the router without a problem.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
