Orbi RBK752 with Netgear Nighthawk CM1200
Hi There, I've been at this for several hours now, trying to fix this on my own, but having no luck. So the internet went out, and when I tried to check things, I discovered the Orbi states there...
Lets log into the CM modems web page with your mac directly connected to the modem and disable the LAG on the modem. You can access the modems web page at 192.168.100.1. When you disable the LAG on the modem, it should reboot. As it's rebooting or right after you apply the change, disconnect the Mac from the modem and connect the RBRs Internet port to the CM modems #1 WAN port. Walk thru the setup wizard with your mac and Safari and see if the RBR gets connected. A power cycle of the modem once more maybe needed.

That worked! Thank you SO MUCH! Now I can go put a band-aid on my forehead. :D
Glad you got it working. Enjoy. :smileywink:
I just purchased both the Nighthawk CM1200 and Orbi RB752. The Nighthawk CM1200 works fine - I can connect to Internet via ethernet cable from my laptop to CM1200. Orbi RB752 router is plugged into the power source, and is connected to CM1200 via ethernet cable. Yet my Orbi app on my phone still cannot connect RB752 to internet. Yes, the ethernet cable between RBK752 and CM1200 is plugged into the yellow ports #1 at both. Ethernet Port Aggregation is disabled at CM1200.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
P.S. I wouldn't have posted this comment if your suggested solution earlier in this thread did work (btw, is LAG and LACP-IEE 802.3ad (Port 1&2) same thing?)
