RBR40 help accessing
Hi guys, I got my RBR40 from my parents, and did a factory reset (new ISP with an Arris Modem/Router) I'm trying to create a new network and stop using the Arris I had before. When factory rese...
When the ISP device is a combination modem/router, the Orbi router cannot create the same IP subnet on its LAN side as the ISP LAN, so it changes to a different IP on the LAN side. Specifically, when the ISP modem/router is using 192.168.1.x, then the Orbi creates 10.0.0.x.
Personally, I find this puzzling, since the only requirement is not to use the exact same subnet. 192.168.2 x would be fine, as would 192.168.3.x, 4.x, 5.x, 6.x ...... etc.
One way to 'find' the Orbi router is to look at the Gateway address that is assigned to your device that is connected over WiFi. If it is 10.0.0.1, then that is where the Orbi router web interface will be found.
Sooooo...
I feel dumb now... was trying to use the RBS50 as a router instead of my RBR40.... problem solved... thank you everyone
