RBK753 setup issues
Hello, I am setting up the RBK753 for a friend. In my house, I have another Orbi system so my app is set up already for that one. I logged out and set up the new account and system. I got as far ...
Try setting up your friends system with a ethernet connected PC connected to the back of the RBR.
I also tried that, sorry for leaving that out. It gave my PC an IP of 10.0.0.2 and a default gateway of 10.0.0.1. I couldn't connect to 10.0.0.1 on http or https. Anything I'm missing there?
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.Factory reset the RBR with the RBR disconnected from the ISP modem/ONT. You can setup the RBR manually with out it being connected to the ISP service.
Just confirming that the factory reset procedure is to hold reset button until it blinks amber, correct? Should I expect it to blow away the custom SSID I set it to?
Yes, the WiFi SSID/password should return to what is printed on the product label. If the custom SSID is still being broadcast, then the Factory Reset did not work correctly.
