AX6000 setup without cell signal
Hello!
I have an Orbi AX6000 on its way and I’m concerned about setup. Once I disconnect from my old router I won’t be able to open up the Orbi app due to no cell coverage within 3 miles of my home. I’m wondering if anyone has run into this issue and what they did to get set up. Unfortunately my modem doesn’t have Wi-Fi capability. Ideas please and thank you?!?

I think you don't need cell service to setup the Orbi system. Also a pad would work or a wired or wireless PC or laptop and web browser connected to the RBR will work as well. Review the user manual and installation guides for help and information on setting it up.
