Using Gmail with an Orbi setup
I have managed to install Orbi in the house and wifi is working fine. However I am not getting my emails through Gmail. There is lots of technical speak about this but can someone please point me in ...

I appear to have fixed the problem but don't ask me how. Everyne seemed to be suggesting I was have a dns problem. So I changed one of the dns switches in the Orbi app and suddenlt everything is working again including Gmail.
My thanks goes out to eveyone who took the time to respond to my issue and point me in the right direction. I don't understand any of these issues any better than before but it was the multiple suggestions regarding dns issues that made me look at my profiles and change the dns settings.
Thank you all. Without you I would have sent back the Orbi system to Amazon (to my/our detriment!).

So the only websites that you couldn't go to is mail.google.com ? Can you access all other sites? Including Google one like photo.google.com. Also what about other devices like smartphone can they access those sites while connected to wifi?
And also tell us how your Orbi is connected to the internet? Is it in router mode or AP mode.

Hi Orbiman
It's worse than trying to get to the site for Gmail, I can't even get Gmail on my iPhone or any other app that is getting wifi from the Orbi. That includes Outlook on Windows 10.
The Orbi is is acting as my router (I used it to replace the Tilgin router supplied by our broadband supplier.
It just seems as if Gmail is ythe only problem we are having but it is all our email addesses that are effected.
Many thanks
