Orbi RBR 750 sporadic signal and devise acceptance
Greetings to all,
We own a 2 year old Orbi 750 with 2 satellites. It is used as a router, the modem is from xfinity and runs at 900 odd Mbps as per the orbi app. Lately, orbi has become sporadic, m...
Glad you got it working. BE sure to check out the DMZ on the modem if it's in router mode and if the Orbi is in router mode as well. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

We never had parental control on, all the kids are grown ups but on the parental control site it says “all profiles paused” even though the program has expired.
"All profiles paused" gives the impression that at one time Parental Controls were active. Perhaps during the initial setup, the offer for a Free Trial of Parental Controls was accepted? If it was never active, how can it be "expired"?
Does the Device Manager section show individual devices enabled?
One possible reason the phone works and everything else does not is the device running the Orbi App cannot be 'paused'. (Sort of a fail safe provision. If the device controlling the router is paused, then the router can no longer be controlled.)
The most obvious possible solution is the Factory Reset and deliberately not setting up Parental Controls. If the same (exactly) WiFi name and password are used, then every device should reconnect to the system without any configuration. If the system has been customized (i.e. assigning IPs to specific devices by MAC address), it is a good idea to not set the WiFi name/password until all that effort has been finished. Otherwise, as soon as WiFi devices see a WiFi they recognize, they'll connect and get whatever IP the system gives out.
Many thanks CrimpON, we have rain in the forecast this afternoon, so I will go through the whole protocol and see with extremities crossed, if that does the trick. Otherwise, it will be time to move on to another set up me thinks.
More anon.
