One test you can do. Disable all WPA securiity temporarily on the Orbi system. Then try to connect any of the vaccuums to the Orbi to see if they connect at all. Then turn on WPA and TPIK ON the router and test the vaccuums again. Do they connect at any time?

Well not sure how this worked but it wouldnt work without the password until i took the steps suggested by Furrye38 thanks for the help. Connected right away without password after I set up manually. But wouldnt allow me to add a password back. I added the password back and reset up the robot and boom connected. thanks for all the help!

Not sure if you're still around. I'm having the same problems you had. I think I did what you were told to do, but I didn't have much luck. When I disable the password, the robot connects right away...like you said. When I turn on the password, it stays connected for a few minutes, but then loses it. Any suggestions?
thanks
