Orbi wifi 6 can't connect to the internet
Just brought the Orbi Dual Band Mesh WiFi 6 System and while everything works in terms of connection to the router via devices and satellites. I cannot connect to the internet. I get an error message...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What devices are you trying to get internet on?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
