cannot connect to my RBR750
I have an Orbi rbr750 router, but cannot connect to it from my Orbi app or directly from the web browser. The ip address is 192.168.1.251. using the Orbi app, then when I connect with Anywhere Ac...
WiFi routers have two IP addresses:
- The Internet (WAN) port is typically assigned an IP address by the network the router is using.
- When operating in 'router mode', the RBR750 will create a local network (LAN) and will assign one of the IP addresses on this LAN to itself.
This is the IP address to use when using a web browser to access the web management features of the RBR750, and can be accessed only when the device is connected to the LAN.
The Anywhere Access feature of the Orbi app does not require the smartphone to be connected to the LAN (i.e. it can be "anywhere")
192.168.1.251 is an unusual IP address for an Orbi router to assign to itself.
