RBR50 Factory Reset does not work!
I have an Actiontec T3200 provided by my ISP, and I have been having some performance issues with the ISP router wireless running with the Orbi Mesh, so I decided to disable the ISP modem wireless ra...
If you can access the RBRs web page, try using the ERASE function under Advanced Tab/Backup. Try this with the RBR disconnected from the ISP modem and all other wired devices accpet for 1 wired PC.
Pressing the reset button for 15 seconds in back of the RBR then release should reset the RBR.
This actually worked! Thank you. I was able to access the `new device' setup and later attached the WAN port to the ISP (Actiontec T3200) and it seems to be working after I disabled the ISP router's radios. Now I'm back to the 192.x.x.x vs 10.x.x.x networking arrangement because there is no way to actually disable DHCP services on that ISP box.
Next step now for me is to rename the default ORBI SSID and add my 3 satellites to this configuration and hope that connected devices actually connect to the nearest satellite, which is one of the reasons I went down this path in the first place...
Thank you so much for helping me resolve this issue!
You might use the modems DMZ for the RBR if you can't bridge the modem.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves tine if a reset is needed.
