For Apple users, review this:
Some users have said that a factory reset and setup from scratch with the RBR disconnected from the ISP modem during the setup gains acess to the RBR again. Press the reset button for 15 seconds and release and use a wired PC and web browser set to HTTP and 192.168.1.1 and walk thru the setup wizard.

Ok I will reset the orbi router and connect the ethernet to a regular PC and wire the ethernet from the orbi router to the pc only without the ISP modem connection.
Also I need to reset each one of the meshes?

I could install the router it was not so easy. What I did was with the mac id in my router id make a static IP for the Orbi router in the ASUS. Then remove the cable that connects the Orbi router to the router and connect one port of the orbi router to a PC with a ethernet cable. From there I needed to make fatory reset no other way because when I called with the static IP if connected to asus router or even the 192.168.1.1 not connected to the asus the orbi I had errors of connection refused and nothing to do. But after a factory reset and with the cable between the asus router and the orbi router removed, leaving alone the cable connected to the PC the orbi via ethernet there I called the 192.168.1.1 and done from there I could enter the admin I configured everything from zeroes and of course selecting AP Mode to the orbi but after that I connected the cable that connects the orbi and the asus and removed the one to the PC, rebooted everything and now works fine even I can call the admin mode of the Orbi router with the static IP I configured in the ASUS.
I see here is a big bug of netgear and needs to be fixed. Is horrible the mess. iPhone app could not recover this the PC just making a factory horrible considering Netgear name.
Thank you anyway.
