RBR750 admin page won't load -- responds to ping but not HTTP GET
I have a brand new RBR750 (orbi AX4200) and can't load the admin page (192.168.1.1/orbilogin.com) to setup the router even over a wired connection after a factory reset. The router responds to pings ...
It might be worth taking a few minutes to attempt setting up the Orbi without any connection to the WAN port.
(yes, no cable to the ISP device). An Orbi will function perfectly well with no internet connection. (it cannot reach the internet, but the WiFi and LAN operation will be just fine.)
There is a chance that the Orbi is not actually at 192.168.1.1 "something" may be there, but perhaps not the Orbi. For example, if the Orbi is connected to an ISP router that takes 192.168.1.1 for itself, the Orbi will switch to 10.0.0.1.
With a computer connected to an Orbi LAN port, what is the gateway address that the computer gets via DHCP?
Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried without anything connected to the WAN port but that doesn't seem to matter (direct ethernet connection from laptop to router with no other connections on the laptop or the router). The router always assigns connected devices an IPv4 from 192.168.1.0/24 with gateway 192.168.1.1 (e.g. 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.3). Pings from the laptop to 192.168.1.1 start flowing a minute or two after the router boots up, and stop immediately if the router is unplugged. Can't ping 10.0.0.1 and web page does not load. So I think the orbi is indeed using 192.168.1.1.
