Unable to login to my new SXR80 Orbi Access Point
Until recently, I had a 4.58mbps DSL internet service. I tried to milk it for all it was worth with an RBR-750 with 2 satellites. Only rarely did I ever get both satellites to connect to the router. ...
Welcome to the community!
Since the SXR80 was set to AP mode, what will happen is that the SXR80 will get an IP address from your RAX80 and so what you can do is go to the "Attached Devices" page of the RAX80 to check the IP address of the SXR80.
You should be able to see its IP address on the list of the Attached Devices via the SXR80's MAC address and access the SXR80's admin page that way.

Thanks ever so much -- I'll give that a shot this afternoon -- but, it certainly makes sense

I got there!! Woopee!
I found the IP address (192.168.1.10) . Of course, I had to guess at the password since even though I had done a "reset" it didn't take and was hanging on to a password I set somewhere along the way.
With the proper IP, got seemlessly got into my Orbi Pro browser page. And, once there, it was a piece of cake. Guess I'm getting old -- never even thought about logging into the IP for the SXR80. But, once I got in, it was simple to make the changes and sync my SXS80 so that my home network now has a Nighthawk, plus an Orbi with one satellite -- one heck of a seemless network for the home front.
Thanks again!
