I agree. The crazy thing is that logging on with "admin" and the Orbi administrative password is successful, but then (1) the prompt is not "root" and (2) BusyBox commands are not recognized. (even the error message is different from mine).

This is what I get if I run "busybox" , the commanbds listed there work. I dont see get or config
- CrimpOnJul 27, 2019Guru - Experienced User
"config" is not in my BusyBox, either. My BusyBox is v1.24.1 and yours is v1.23.2 My BusyBox has 99 commands that are not in yours, while yours has 8 commands that are not in mine. There are 109 commands that are in both. Who would have thought the Netgear team developing Orbi would use entirely different versions of BusyBox for different products?
Can you log into the Orbi, change directories to /bin and list all the files? i.e.
cd /bin
ls -l

Our systems are not anything alike. I have no idea how they can be so different and perform the same functions.
Since we are not getting very far in this direction, maybe it would be useful to open a new post and ask for advice on getting the specific device to connect to Orbi. For example, when people began complaining about their "Smart Plug" needed 2.4G to connect, I purchased a bunch of them and found that they ALL connected just fine. Even the one that complained, "Must set phone to 2.4G!!!" I simply ignored the message, hit "Continue", and the plug worked.
It is well-established that it is not the presence of the Orbi 5G signal that interferes with the actual device. The device has only a 2.4G radio and thus is blissfully ignorant of 5G, just as it isn't bothered by 900MHz wireless phones or cell phone signals. Sometimes it is the smartphone app that is written poorly.
What is this thing?

The user has a CBR40 which differs from the RBR units...The CBR40 is a built in CM700 cable modem. I presume the backend FW will differ from RBR systems. I have the CBR40 as well...

Yes, we discovered that his model has the built-in modem. What comes as a surprise to me is how different the firmware is. It is still an Orbi. One wonders how the Netgear engineers even work on it with all the BusyBox commands that are missing (99 if I counted correctly).
- FURRYe38Jul 28, 2019Guru - Experienced User
Ya however the HW system and FW is different and there are two different depts working on each system. There separate systems thus there is probably a disconnect between them. The FW version have never really synced between the RBR and CBR. The CBR is based off the 40 series system. Hoever I presume they have to do things to make it all work with the modem inside. It is it's own system and shouldn't be treated as similar or same as the RBR systems.

I just purchased this modem router. And tried to configure 2.4 and 5ghz separetely. I am also facing same issue. Were you able to resolve this issue?
