RBR750 in AP Mode on same network?
Help. Its such a shame my RBR750 and it’s 3 Satellites are about to be returned. They seem so good at wifi! And support have spent over an hour or so going through what I have already tried. I bou...
Yes Orbi in AP mode and I have aded two of the Satelites - one more to go.
Didnt really want the main Orbi in the comms cabinet, but can live with that - may need to buy a 4th Satelite - see how we go,.
So again thanks.
What openreach modem are you using? Many of these are modem/router combo devices.
And then you have the Vigor which has its own routing.
And then you have the orbi.
You should be able to get the orbi on the same subnet as the vigor but you have to ensure you're not having more than 1 device acting in router mode.
Thanks for replying and giving me some hope. I am 99% sure only the Drytek is in router mode. The NightHawk is in ap mode and I have done a compete setup (in fact serveral) of the Orbi plugged into the DryTek with the NigthHawk switched off.
Sorry - the OpenReach is just a modem with no configuration options. It is old but everything works, apart from the Orbi.
do you have its model number?
Did you ever try factory resetting the vigor?
starting back from stock with everything?
No I havent reset the vigor to factory - to reset it up would take some time. I could factory reset and restore the configuration but then I dont see how that would help. It works. And the cure could be worse than the disease.
The clue to me is where the odd ip address is comming from. After the switch to AP mode the Orbi gives all wifi clients an ip in the 169.254.46.* range. I only have 1 dhcp server and that gives all in the 192.168.1.* range.
