I don't even have an Orbi router. It is a Nighthawk I do believe. RAX10 is the model.
Thanks. That helps. Then this is the product:

Similar questions:
- Is the RAX10 being managed using the web browser interface or the Nighthawk 'app'?
- Does this router replace a WiFi router that was working correctly with the printers and credit card machines?
- If so, was the RAX10 set up with exactly the same WiFi name (SSID) and password as the previous router?
I oviously can't reply using my email.
The model is RAX10
I used the name that the router came with, which is Netgear47. I didn't think about renaming it to the old one. I also changed the password when my credit card machine could only take 8 characters.
I'm using the Nighthawk app. I have a windows peer to peer network for my tiny business, since I knew how to do that.
The usual practice when replacing a WiFi router is to set up the new router with exactly the same WiFi credentials as the old one. That way, every device will connect automatically. There is a good chance that devices will be assigned different network addresses by the new router (unless you go into the management software and specifically assign IP addresses to each device. Thus, the printers may no longer be "at the same place" and the Windows computers will have to find them again.
If you're trying to discover the printer on your network from windows, make sure you've set the network as private in windows.
My old router, a Linksys EA6200 did have everything working until I had a power outage, and then it just wouldn't quit flashing to show it was up and running, so I bought the RAX10.
