Setting up Orbi with LTE router
I have the Orbi WiFi router. I have a NETGEAR LB 1120 LTE modem. I’ve installed a t-mobile sim. The modem is making connection. I’ve set it to bridge mode. The Orbi has brief connection and then drop...
You need first to do the following:
1. At the promt Marks-iMac:~ Mark$ enter the following command (I’m assuming your Orbi’s IP is 192.168.1.1 so please change to the correct IP address):
telnet 192.168.1.1
2. Enter admin and then you password when prompt to.
3. When you get the prompt root@RBR50 or root@RBR40 then please enter the config commands as follows:
config get wan_lease
config set wan_lease=3600
config commit

Thank you. Can you tell I don't work in the terminal much?
It may be the poor internet speeds I'm getting, but at this point I'm getting the message "unable to connect to remote host" when I give the telnet command
I put the computer on my phone hotspot (a little better or consistent internet) and I've confirmed the debug mode on the orbi has telnet enabled
Doh. the IP address was incorrect. I've only been staring at it for a day.
Commands entered and Orbi rebooted. Confirmed that current lease is 3600
Very early observation suggests this did not correct speed issue.
I assumed that was true. But I’m thinking of the people that might read this thread with similar issues. Thank you for getting me this far.
I was never able to get the t-mobile sim to work, but had immediate success activating an AT&T mobile sime through otrmobile.com (not an advertisement
This ran great all day Sunday, but when I got up on Monday the Orbi had been kicked off the internet. I power cycled the Orbi and all is well again. It's too early to know if this will repeat, but I'm wondering if that is a sign of a leasing issue like what started this thread?
Possible Modem issue as well...
What FW version are you using now on the Orib?

I'm not at home to check, but I know that when I was working on this I checked the firmware and was told I was up-to-date
There is new FW for the 40 series if you haven't seen it or your system hasn't already updated:
