RBS50 connecting to guest network after reset
Hi, I've always run ethernet straight to this satellite, but at some point I realized my connection was unstable and saw that it was connected to the 2.4ghz guest network as opposed to the primary 5g...
Hi MaryRivera,
I understand that your RBS50 connects to the guest portion of your network when connected through ethernet. This issue can be caused by having two active DHCP servers running at the same time. This issue can be resolved by disabling your RBR50's DHCP server and then disconnecting and reconnecting the RBS50.
To turn off the DHCP server for your Orbi follow the instructions below:
- Enter orbilogin.com
- Enter the admin user name and password.
- On the BASIC Home page: Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
- Uncheck the Use Router as DHCP Server check box.
Let me know your progress on this issue!!
