RBR50 admin password problems
Hi My RBR50 with 2 sattelites has been working fine for a few years. Recently there was an internet issue and the service provider had to visit the site and fix the issue. Not sure if this is at all...
Thanks for responding so quickly CrimpOn.
When i enter 192.168.1.1 on my PC Chrome browser, I get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
If I enter 192.168.0.1, I get through to my modem and can access all modem functions as normal.
I have a cable from the modem Eth1 input to the RBR50 Internet input.
Not sure if this helps at all?
I am 100% certain that the Orbi will not respond on the IP address assigned by the ISP device (192.168.0.18).
During the visit by the ISP technician, is there no chance that the tech moved the ISP to Orbi connection from the Orbi WAN port to some other port?
What people usually advise is to power everything off. (Say whatever prayer suits your personal beliefs - Hail Mary. Happy Birthday. Whatever) Turn on the ISP device and wait until it is stable. Then, power on the Orbi router.
Does the "Ring Light" at the top of the Orbi router display any pattern or colors?
I was with the tech when he came inside - he only spent a few min inside and played around with the line going into the wall.
The light at the top of the RBR50 is white.
I'm not sure how the modem assigns an ip to the RBR50 - but you are right, nothing happens when I try access 192.168.0.18 through the pc browser. And I can't seem to reassign it.
I will try doing the prayer thing a bit later and start from scratch again - if that doesn't work it seems I have to wait for the Netgear patch. Do you have a link that has any info on the patch that is on its way?
Thanks for posting the screen shot. If that is a PC connected to the ISP router, it should be able to access the Orbi web browser interface when connected to one of the LAN ports on the Orbi router. Consumer routers do not accept any connection through their WAN port, only through their LAN ports. I would try http://orbilogin.net or http://192.168.1.1
As far as Nov 12, Netgear never posts information about firmware releases. I saw a random comment in the forum from someone who had talked to someone (who had talked to someone, etc.)
