Setting up Orbi with LTE router

The Orbi has brief connection and then drops it. All browsers say no internet connection. I’m stuck and not sure what setting to change to keep the Orbi up
This can be caused by the lease time given by the LTE router to Orbi.
Please check under >> ADVANCED >> ADVANCED Home >> INTERNET PORT >> CONNECTION STATUS.
What is the Lease Obtained time? What DNS server is being used?
I am having no luck getting back into the Orbi after doing a factory reset on the back.
On the Advanced-Advanced lease question. I don't see that in the LTE router settings. Is that something on the Orbi?
Factory reset the router using the back push pin button. Hold it in until the top led turns on AMBER then let go. Wait for the WHITE led to slowly pulsate, then log in to orbilogin.com using a web browser and walk thru the setup wizard. This time write down all important information for safe keeping later on.
You can reset the Orbi as well using it's web page under Advanced Tab/Backup/ERASE with a wire connected PC to the Orbi base router.

Argh. I thought I was technologically literate. I can't even accomplish a factory reset. It just keeps blinking white. I never get an amber light to move from. This is clearly my hold up at this point in that I've now wiped the network settings and I need to get the Orbi up and running again.
Satellites are off. I did that a while ago to take them out of the equation.

You don't need to wait for any amber light. When the router is up, connect to the wifi (or connect a computer using a cable) and start the setup wizard!

Yes this information is in Orbi. It's very likely that this is what causes your issue.
Please check this when you finish your adventure with factory resetting. :)
