Orbi 750 Tri-band mesh wi-fi 6 system - Set-up advice & Connection issue
Hello, I'm trying to reconfigure my existing Orbi system (CBR750 & 2 satellites) to add on a RBR750 (router) & 2 more satellites. The second set was a Costco bundle & included the router. My previ...
Well I certainly messed up. In my confusion of settings, working with online support, etc., I realized that I had changed the WPA setting from 2 to 3. While trying to navigate the rabbit holes of figuring out the problem, I switched it back to 2. Got the tv back online & the Amazon Echo.
Thank you for your initial response.
I wish there was a concise & understable resource where the uninformed could navigate the pitfalls. I'm sure there is - I just have to find it.
Problem is that you can't use a router as a satellite with the orbi devices. You could add it as a seperate access point but it wouldn't roam the same.
What you could do?
Put the CBR40 in modem only mode then connect the RBR to it. Then when thats setup/working, add the satellites.
I will try that. I'll need to look up how to set it in modem only, but can't get to it right now. I'm assuming I can find that info on this site somewhere. Other problem is that now, besides the tv & Echo, my printer won't connect via wi-fi. Should I do an initial set-up rather than what I did (add device)? I'm thinking that may be part of the issue, but don't want to power down my husband's businesss side since they run off of my network. Unfortunately, we're all a little technologically challenged - them more than me.
The router unit is not plugged into the system right now, just the additional satellites. They're all showing as connected, but aren't showing up as a connection point.
thanks for your response - I really appreciate it.
