Orbilogin not possible
I have a working Orbi setup with a RBR50 router in AP mode, and four sateiltes. Can log in via the app on my phone, not a single problem. But via any browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) on my MacBook...

There is a Xperiabox “in front” that is dealing with DHCP. There can only be one router off course. And there are (cabled) connections coming from that box.
If I change that box to “dumb” and the Orbi back to router, would the Orbi provide IP numbers to the equipment connected direct to the box?

- Erwin66Feb 01, 2021AspirantIll try to go back to router mode. Unfortunately I have to try that via cable. Because the app doesn’t give that possibility .

Check the upstream modem router for the IP address of the RBR when in AP mode, you can use this IP address to log into the RBR when in AP node, I do this all the time with mine. So do others when in AP Mode.
You can manually update FW as well if you want too which is available:
