RBS850 not showing on network map - guest wifi not connecting
i have the ORBI RBR850 with 2 RBS850 satellites, one is connected by ethernet cat-5 through a Frontier modem/router. it was working perfectly until i switched from Xfinity cable to Frontier fiber o...
Yes, do not connect the Orbi router LAN port to the Frontier device and one of the satellites to the Frontier device.
Go back to using the switch to connect the Orbi router and Orbi satellite.
When the Orbi satellite is connected to the Frontier device, it will get confused because the Frontier creates one LAN subnet and the Orbi creates a different LAN subnet.
- Thanks so much for your reply. I tried to connect directly from the Frontier Optical Network Terminal (ONT) where the fiber internet enters my home to power the fiber network, into the switch, but I don’t get an internet connection. Do I need to have a modem in between? Can I accomplish this myself or do I need to engage Frontier tech support? Thanks again
