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...
As I said to FURRYe38, I don't see how resetting my 771 will help my issue. My 771 is up and running at the moment and I can login via a web browser.
If it has happened already once and I was able to the use the app and browser, when the next firmware update is released it could just cause the issues I just had.
I.E. lost internet, reboot everything and not able to use the app again.
My 771 is active on my network and working in AP mode and is my only wireless access.
I do feel the Orbi app should be able to discover an existing and working network.
If you won't do the reset, then I suggest you submit a bug report thru the app:
How do I submit a bug report or logs from the Nighthawk or Orbi app? | NETGEAR Communities
As you seem to be the only one having this issue.
Good Luck.
Thank you. Bug reported via app as suggested.
Wanted to try my 770 series in AP mode as well to see if Orbi app would connect after changing to AP mode.
CAX80 changed from modem only mode to router mode. Disabled WIFI radios.192.168.0.1 subnet on CAX80. DHCP IP address pool range .100 to .150 for my needs.
Use the following configuration on the RBR771 for AP mode:
iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 18.5
Current released Orbi App to date.
Orbi app also is working as under Settings, Security with Armor and SPC is missing from the menu item as these are not supported in AP mode.
