RBR20 ORBI AC2200 - connected, but in "Settings" it says there's no IP address

I'm using an iMac.

 

Just got a new Orbi to replace my dead Nighthawk, installation was a snap — both the base, satellite, and my printer are connected, but in "Settings" > "Network" while it shows the Orbi is connected it also says "No IP Address".

 

Do I need to worry about this?

  • Can you take a screen shot and post it?

    Otherwise, "everything works"?

      Thanks CrimpOn,

       

      Strangely, when I returned to the "Settings" screen, it no longer mentions a missing IP address, it merely says, "Connected".

       

      I'm amazed at the speed of the community's answers, as well as at the thorough knowledge you all have.

      I’m sorry, I intended to write saying it turned out my Nighthawk died so I bought an Orbi and it was simple to set up. Now our internet is working great. Thanks for your help.
