Orbi rbk353 ax1800
I have the orbo rbk353 for about 2 weeks i kept it in router mode for about 1 week and then changed it to ap modus. The problem im facing is that the orbi router is giving out a solid purple light an...
Im not exactly sure. The only thing i turned off on my zte router was my wifi so i dont have double wifi downstairs. I have internet even when the purple light is on in Ap modus. So i think the orbi gets the ip from thw Zte.
Check the RBRs Advanced HOME page and see if there is a IP address listed in the Internet section. Should be a 192.something.
Does this reporting an IP address here?
Try setting up a static IP address ON the RBR in AP mode.
What is the IP address pool size range on the ISP modem? 192.168.something.2 to 254?
- I was planning to try setting a static ip but i was wondering if it wasn’t bad have a static ip?
Its not a bad thing. Helps to ensure the IP is set, the IP address doesn't change so you know where to access the RBRs web page at any time with out having to look at the host routers web page to find out what IP address was given to the RBR when using Dynamic IP mode.
- Okay im gonna give it a try today or tomorrow thank you for the response i will let you know how it goes
