Orbi, connect to wireless LAN
Purchased abeBird pro visual ear cleaner and trying to connect to my Orbi but keep getting message to go to phone settings and turn on Wireless LAN. Not sure how to do that? Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Wild guess? Yet another wireless junk client unhappy if it does not "see" it's device after a discovery attempt device on 2.4 GHz. Complain to the maker of this junk or point them back to the community here. happy to provide some some free advisory sessions on how not to implement such devices.
What Orbi model do you have?
Curious, why would a ear cleaner need to be wifi connected? 😲

I have a similar otoscope (although less costly) The device itself creates a WiFi and the user is supposed to go into Network Settings on the smartphone or tablet and connect directly to the device. It does not connect to the home WiFi system.
Lordy, there's an app for everything now days. 🙄
When my kids were young and prone to ear infections, I found that the Advice Nurse was much more receptive when I mentioned, "when I looked with my Otoscope, the eardrum sure looked red." Hard to see in my own ear. The gizmo was really helpful when taking pictures of a broken molar (and the subsequent base for the tooth implant).
Mine (for $20.99) is not nearly as impressive to look at as these beauties.
