ORBI46, ORBI100 problems with Ethernet connecting
Okay, I gave up on the ORBI46 and returned it. Got tired of trying to make it work... Now, I have a ORBi100 which is what is on the bottom of the router. It still has RBR750 on the bottom. Is th...
a couple things.
1. orbi100, orbi46 is the ssid name. Not the model. The RBR750 is the model
2. what modem/gateway are you connecting them to?

Okay,
I actually have a ORBI RBK753S Tri Band Mesh 6, but there is not a selection for Model.
I just reinstalled everythng from factory settings again.
Set up WPA3 on rouater, guest network, renamed the devices that are attached. Router works, satellites work, Ok I'm good to go? Nope!
Thought that everything was okay until I tried to attach my husbands Apple SE mobile phone to the network, and it won't connect! It's an Apple SE, older one from a few years ago.
Then I signon to the PC again and look at the network and there are two ORBI00's. One that is at the top and connected and one that I cannot connect to? What's up with this?
What is going on? This is the second time that I have reinstalled this system!
Please see the PIC that I have attached. I tried to attached 3 pics, but it wouldn't let me.
Thanks

What's up with this?----Your "one at the top" is an ethernet connection. it doesn't require a login. The one at the bottom is the wireless. that "X" on it indicates a problem with the connection like maybe your password isn't correct. right click on it and "forget" the network. then reconnect with the proper password for the wireless. Or leave you current device hardwired.

What modem/gateway do you have?
Thanks

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
