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...
My setup is an ARRIS cable modem cm8200b connecting to a TPLINK VR 1600v gateway router with wireless then the ORBI. I need the TPLINK because it has a netphone. When I take away the ORBI and rely on the TPLINK router, the network appears stable. The problem is then that the TPLINK WiFi is so so weak that I cannot get active internet in the rest of my house. As a reminder everything (including the ORBI router and satellite) worked fine for over a month. I powered down the satellite while away for 3 weeks and the troubles started after that. Initially, I certainly did no active reconfiguration of the ORBI system.
Finally, is there any way to get into the ORBI configration other than wireless (such as a direct ethernet connection). When I was trying to reset the ORBI, I had many problems with the flaky wireless so that I had stop and start repeatedly.
is the Orbi in AP mode while behind the TPLink router?
Is the WiFi on the TPLink router fully disabled and turned OFF?
If the TPlink router is needed. Besure to configure the Orbi for AP Mode and ensure that the wifi radios on the TPLink router are fully OFF.
