Fiber Modem and Orbi connectivity problem
Recently purchased the Netgear Orbi RBK753S High-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi System from Amazon. Cannot get it to work when connected directly via ethernet cable to my Adtran SDX 621 fiber mode...

My ISP did an update on their fiber modem ONT and the Netgear Orbi started working as it should after a restart.

Contact my ISP tech support yesterday. They said they need to install a new "package" so I can use a third party router.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡 - bmwr75Dec 18, 2021Star
The fix was all done by my ISP inside their fiber modem. I didn't have to change anything in my router.

It's nice when you don't have to do anything to the router.
Enjoy now. :smileywink:
