My Orbi AX4200 Mesh Sucks and Never Works
I bought the AX4200-RBK753S from Costco. I have had problems with it ever since and can’t return it now. Our phones never connect to the Orbi anymore. The iPad connects to Orbi and that’s it. I wish I still had my Google Wi-Fi. It worked so much better. Please help. I can not connect to the app anymore. It says it can’t find the Orbi network.
