Set a static IP address on the RBR. That was you always know where the IP address is and can always access the RBR. I use 192.168.0.85 for my system.

Netgear support advised me to leave the orbi in router mode but in its own subnet. (My Sonicwall is on 192.168.2.x.) I'd prefer to turn off the routing on the orbi, so everything in the same subnet. Suggestions?

Setting a static IP does not solve the problem.
