Orbi 970 Wi-Fi 7 Ordered
Just placed my order for the 970 mesh routers—can’t wait to get them up and running! I've had a fantastic experience with the 850 WiFi 6 system so far—hands down the best wireless setup I’ve ever use...
What I do first, use the default SSID name during the intial setup on the new system. Get to the home screen and ensure the RBS are connected as well. Setup all other features you want, accept for the WIFI SSID name and PW. Leave this for last item to change. Once you have most of the system setup and mostly ready, then go in and change the SSID name and PW and channels on the new system. After you select APPLY for this change, give about 30 seconds, then power OFF the new system. Then proceed to where you put the new RBR at the location of the old RBR and follow the process of powering it on after you reboot or power cycle the ISP modem/ONT. Go from there.
My satellite is saying it is in Canada. Any idea how I change that? Also, does the connection from the router to satellite look good?
Whats the lay out of the home and where are the RBS located from the RBR? Distances should be 30 feet or more up to say 40-50.
Size of home in sq ft?
Might power OFF the system for 1 minute then back ON.
Possible once the system is setup and staged, and once you fully on line with the system, CAN should change to USA.
