rbr 50 unable to see the satellite
I have just returned from vacation (up till then all was good). Now my orbi is totally unable to sync withe satellite. I have shut down, restarted and gone through pushng syncing buttons and all ha...
After much trouble because the connection keeps dropping out. I was able to follow option 3 abive and reset the router to be AP mode. I then tried to connect but the network shows no internet connection and the ORBI app says I am being blocked because of no IP. It appears that I need to sign in to the router but how?
My setup is an ARRIS cable modem connecting to a TPLINK VR 1600v gateway router with wireless then the ORBI. I need the TPLINK because it has a netphone.
Ay help appreciated.
What is the model of the ARRIS cable modem please? Seems that it’s also a router?
The Arris model is labelled CM8200B and was supplied by NBN Australia to connect to a coaxial cabel system. It is then connected with a sigle ethernet outlet to a TP Link VR1600V which acts to provide a wifi router and offers anetphone outlet. This part of the system works pefectly well to provide internet access. However I am forced to use the ORBI because this router has a very short range and the signal does not reach the main section of my house,
When I setup without ORBI I have this short range internet access and TRACERT now gives
