Can't acess Orbi RBK852 when configured as an AP
I'm trying to replace an R7000, which works fine in AP mode behind an erlite router which is in turn behind a Netgear CM1150v Comcast modem. The R7000 still works OK, but I have to reboot it a coupl...
What is the IP address pools string your main host router uses? 192.168.1.1? Just checking. The RBR needs to use same Ip address pool string as what the main host router uses.
"I tried the IP address I configured it with, 192.168.1.1, and orbilogin.com. I tried from orbi enet port and from wifi"
Try setting 192.168.1.85 as a static IP address for the RBR in AP mode. Be sure you fill in the gateway, and subnet mask and DNS correctly.
Apply the change then access the RBRs web page at 192.168.1.85
Two pools:
192.168.1.0/24 - wired devices
192.168.2.0/24 - wifi (including AP)
When configuring orbi with static IP, I've been giving it:
IP: 192.168.2.200 (same IP I use for Nighthawk)
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
DNS: 192.168.2.1 (my EdgeRouter implements DNS caching)
After setting above, I attempted to access using 192.168.2.200.
