lost internet connection rbr50 v2
Good afternoon,
First posting in this forum, any help appreciated.
Yesterday evening without any change to the setup we completely lost our internet connection.
The orbi router is connected via a ziggo modem to the outside world in the Netherlands.
2 additional orbi 50 satellites complete the installation.
When looking into the setup the orbi router was not configured as an AP. Tried to change that but was not able to change the settings and make it work. DHCP did not work.
Any suggestions?
Best, Thomas

Has your "a ziggo modem" a maker and model number? Is it really only
a "modem", or is it a modem+router?> When looking into the setup the orbi router was not configured as an

If the RBR50v2 is your only router, then you should leave it as a
router. Configuring it as a wireless access point would disable its
DHCP server, and would probably limit you to using one client device.- Thanks for your willingness to get me on a path for resolving this issue.
I took a very different approach as i could not spare any more time and bought google nest wifi. It was pretty much p&p and got us us online again. Now i have a spare setup for the future...
Again, your efforts are really appreciated.
