No internet on Guest Network Orbi 970
Hi, I recently purchased 2 pack Orbi 970, To be used as Network extender. basically after setting up the guest network, I tried to log in, but once logged in, i get a notification guest net...
Hi, I thought I'd come on here to give you an update.
Everything is now working as it should, including the Guest Network.
The only problem I was having, was logging back in to RBR after full reset, I kept getting the password reset loop, but once I sorted the issue, I setup the WIFI networks again, put the RBR in AP mode, restarted my ISP router 1st, once fully booted up, I plugged the Ethernet cable into RBR 10G internet port, tested the guest network, and it is now working fine.
Thank you both for your help. it has been a steep learning curve, going from a TP link router to the Orbi 970. Everything is sorted, including the satellite.
Thank you again
Would be good to find out the size of the home...might have someone help you with this.
Not sure where you are going with this, since the two-pack Orbi is performing well. Gurjeee just needs to set it up ahain in AP mode (resetting it to clear all the previous settings).
The other question I forgot to ask is, currently my ISP router only serves my room's WIFI devices, which has 3 WIFI networks, IOT, Guest and STD, then in the main part of house the Orbi routers serve that part of the house also with 3 WIFI networks, but named different to my rooms WIFI as to separate the 2 areas. The Devices in the main part of house use the Orbi routers to access internet, like fridge, doorbell, and office. but my ISP router in my room is the gateway. If I turn the Orbi into a AP, do I lose the 3 networks I setup for the main part of house of the Orbi, or can i still use them.
No, the Orbi mesh coverage remains as it is (though you will need to add the satellite again after the reset).
After you have it all working, you should disable the wifi in the ISP router, as that will eliminate any chance of wifi interference.

Maybe back up the config to a PC - that would make it easy to restore if you ever need to reset the Orbi again.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. 📡
