RBE771 AP mode, Orbi app says cant find
Recently purchased RBE771 with 1 satellite. Had terrible trouble setting up in AP mode as it kept wanting to go into router. I have Verizon Fois which is in the basement and the I wanted wireless acc...
FURRYe38, I did have the router set up as AP mode and I followed the instructions in not setting up a static ip address, maybe that caused the issues I am seeing now. I was able to see everything in the Orbi app and it was working well. Then I had maybe a firmware update which caused my internet to keep going down, not sure if it may have been a Verizon issue but only my internet was affected. Powering everything down, I can view the 771 in a web browser but not through the Orbi app and the internet is working.
Is there not a way for the Orbi app to discover an existing setup?
Is there a way to enable anywhere access via the web?
I'd disconnect the RBR from the ISP router, put the RBR back in router mode temporarily. See if the Orbi app will connect to the RBR while in router mode just to see if it connects. If you can get in, Look for Anywhere Access or Local Only Access. Either should work.
