Cannot Connect to Orbi
We had a power glitch, and after recovery, I suddenly cannot connect to my RBRE960 router (or satellites). The router is working, and I have both WiFi and internet, but whenever I try to connect to ...
The nuclear option worked. Have no idea why it was necessary, but resetting to factory default and climbing my way back to my own settings finally worked. Daylight savings time saved me, because everyone was still in bed. "Hey, Alexa isn't working!" Well, almost everyone.
It might be useful to double check that the router is still defining the LAN with the same IP subnet (192.168.1.x)
Open the network settings of a device connected to the system and look up
- The IP address that has been assigned to the device.
- The IP address of the internet "gateway".
If the gateway is not 192.168.1.1, then that is the reason it does not appear there.
I just checked, and I on my iPad, iPhone, laptop (all WiFi) and desktop (hardwire to the router), I get an IP of 192.168.1.x, and they all show the default at 192.168.1.1 where it should be. It's really puzzling (and frustrating).
