Be sure you set the IP address configuration ON the printer to automatic so it can detect an IP address coming from the RBR. Remove any prior netowrking configurations if present.

Contact the printers Mfr for additional help and information regarding setup.

I think you're right about it being an IP issue. Have found the RBR IP address via iMac system preferences and the Orbi app so am getting somewhere.
I'll post the outcome!
