When I replace a WiFi system, the new WiFi system is configured with exactly the same WiFi credentials (SSID/password) as the one being replaced. Saves me from having to reconfigure dozens of WiFi devices. (And, allows me to "go back" to the previous WiFi system simply by swapping the units. No reconfigurations required.)
Does the computer "not connect", or does it connect but have "no internet"?
FURRYe38 proposed a good experiment. Temporarily set the Orbi to have no security on the primary SSID.
