Orbi

When I plug my Orbi RBR40 into th modem and set the sattelites up, the app shows the sattelites connected, but the base unit has a magent dot and indicates INTERNET:Offline.

 

Have reset multiple times and nothing.  Any ideas?

    The app is indicating that the satellites are connected to the router (not to the internet).

    Do you have a device with an ethernet jack that can be connected to the modem to verify that the modem is working?

    (desktop? laptop?)

        UInplug the Arris modem for one minute, then plug it back in and see if you get a connection and Orbi router connects.
