Thx for the response the internet connection on the Orbi disconnects constantly. I can still see Orbi listed, but when it tries to connect it states no internet connection, it’s plugged directly into my fios router. If I plug another device into my fios router it works, so issue is with the Orbi itself. It seems the devices are still connected to Orbi WiFi, but states no internet connection
I’ve tried having the WiFi radio turned off and on on my fios, no difference either way.
I’m not familiar enough with the Admin pages and can only access them when I have a connection. Right now there is no connection to Orbi so I can’t go to admin page

There is a difference between connection to Orbi and internet connection.
Fios assigns an IP address to the Orbi router (in AP mode, but we still call it the 'router').
If something is connected to the Orbi WiFi (even if it says "no internet") a web browser should be able to open the Orbi router by IP address, i.e. http://<ip of Orbi>.
