Unable to Connect
I am unable to reconnect my Orbi Mesh router to Modem, I cannot see the orbi in my connections on my phone ? Help !!
1. What modem are you connected to?
2. You can try hardwiring into the orbi for setup.
3. Maybe it was a refurb/renewed/used unit? If so, try factory resetting it. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered up to get back to factory.
I was finally able to see the Orbi on my phone but it was not connected to the internet, So I Rebooted my Modem again and now I cannot see it Now, So .. I hit the Rest button on the Orbi, Still not able to see the Orbi Network on my phone ?
have you tried hardwiring into it for ease of setup?

Remember that you have to do things in the right order. (See the set up guide.)
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
And, as plemans says, try to do things with wired connections rather than over wifi.
