- Not sure if I can use a old router and turn it into a access point ?
Connect that to orbi and run the thermostat off the AP ?
Seems petty sad but since the thermostat connects to my phone. It’s clearly a orbi issue Try setting up a phones hotspot with the same ssid/password as the router. Then shut off the orbi, setup the thermostat with the hotspots ssid (same as mesh systems ssid). Once setup, shut off the hotspot and turn on the router.
- I guess I will have to shut down the orbi system.
Then set my phone as the hotspot with the same pw and ssid.
See if it will connect to the hotspot , then turn hotspot off and turn orbi on
They that tonight - I can’t edit my first post to add the solution. No special characters can be used (SSID)
