Turned off dhcp, now I can't login to router
I turned off dhcp on my orbi, after power cycling I can't log back in. Orbi is connected to my modem/router and the modem/router says orbi has address of 192.168.1.64. My desktop is connected to mode...
Did factory reset and put it in AP mode. It provides both wireless and guest wireless, working good. Thanks for the help.
Factory reset the Orbi router. If you configure AP mode then look at the main host routers connected clients list to see what the new IP address is for the Orbi in AP mode.
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.
