Can’t set RBR850 Router Internet Static IP Address
Firmware Version v3.2.16.6_1.4.4 (latest firmware)
I can’t get my Orbi router to connect to my ISP Modem, which requires static IP settings.

The problem has been solved. After trying various sequences, I had to have my ISP modem connected to the Orbi Internet (WAN) port.
(I powered off Orbi and modem, powered on modem, waited a couple mins, connected ethernet cable from modem to Orbi port, powered on Orbi, updated static IP address, and it took this time.)
I’m reasonably sure I tried this before, but I guess I either skipped a step, or it just decided to work this time, *shrug*.
