Setup a brand new RBR850 with two satellites this week
I am having the exact same problem. Setup a brand new RBR850 with two satellites this week (purchased directly from Netgear). Setup went perfectly and I could access the web page (I'm in AP mode so i...
Unfortunately, that has already been done when I initially setup AP mode, I assigned the router the static address of 192.168.1.2. I was able to connect for a few days and then all of a sudden, I can no longer connect. What makes it more interesting is that the router is working perfectly hosting my WiFi network. I just cannot get in to administrate it either through a webpage at 192.168.1.2 or with the Orbi app.
As others have stated, I could reset everything and start over, but without knowing why this happened there nothing preventing it from happening again. So I'd really like to get this fixed so I'm not in a vicious cycle of everything working, then can't administrate, and then reset again.
By assigning the router a static address, do you mean your setting up an IP address reservation for the RBR on the host router? Static IP address is different from IP address reservations. Static IP addresses are set up ON the device, while IP address Reservations are set ON the Host Router. Also IP address reservations need to be Inside the default IP address pool range, while Static IP address set ON devices, are required be OUTSIDE of the Default IP address pool range on the host router.
