RBR750 will not sync
I have purchased an AX4200 set for one of my customers. As they already have a pre-configured Netgear router in place, we are putting the Orbi Router unit into AP mode so that the Orbi Satellites ca...
Do you have ethernet networking cabling in wall between where the XR router is and the remote locations where the RBS are located?
Seems that the RBS may not be getting a IP address from the XR router thru the RBR in AP mode.
Are you using Dynamtic or Static AP mode configuration on the RBR?
Ive always used a static IP address on my RBR in AP mode, i.e. 192.168.#.85 with the subnet mask, gateway and DNS input as well. I set my XR450 for a default IP address pool of 192.168.#.100 thru .200. This gives me room for static IP addressed devices on either side of this pool.
Thanks for your time, help and assistance so far Furrye38. Honestly is appreciated.
No, there is no Ethernet cabling beyond where the RBR will be located.
I will try setting the RBR with a static address, even though the setup screen advises against this, as if its working for you I am happy to pursue this line of testing.
Will let you know how I get on.

IT WORKED!
Thanks for your help FURRYe38. Don't know why this should make a difference, especially as it clearly says on the AP configuration screen that setting a static IP address on the RBR is NOT recommended but doing this has resolved the problem and the Satellites connected straight away on their first SYNC attempt.
You're a star :-)
Glad it worked. Ya I don't know why NG puts that notice in there. Probably for ease of setup however I always use static on my RBR when in AP mode. Just works.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
