RBK50 system after power outage satellite connects to router and accepts clients but has no internet
System was running perfectly prior to the power outage. Running firmware V2.7.4.24. Any clients that connect to the RBK50 still work perfectly fine. Any attempt to access the internet from client...
In this case clients include cell phones (iOS and Android), and Windows 10 PC's. Any device connected to the satellite has the same pattern - It successfully receives an IP address and is recognized as connected to the network. However, the devices have no Internet connectivity. If you attempt to open a webpage, any webpage, it will redirect you to the orbi login page for the satellite instead. If you simply walk back downstairs and roam back onto the RBK50 router, internet connectivity is restored.
My next step is to try the firmware update but not expecting much from that.

Thanks for the quick response. On one of the Windows laptops, can you open a Command window
and try to ping the router (which is usually 192.168.1.1) or an internet server such as Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or perhaps by name, such as ford.com ?
