2 PC computers can not connect to orbi wifi
I just got this orbi and I can not connect via wifi 2 PC computers. I really do not know what to do. One has this wifi adapter TP-Link TL WN725N N150 USB and the other one has an intel dial band...

Ok.

Which Roku model? Did you intend to connect it wirelessly (to
whatever)? What is your (unspecified) "Router"?Generally, the only thing which you'd connect to your modem would be
your router (WAN/Internet port). Any client device (like, say, a Roku
box) would be connected to the router (LAN Ethernet port or wireless
LAN).> [...] Tried connecting device with HDMI cable but with no success

video display from the thing on your TV, then a network connection would
seem to be the least of your problems.
Also my Alienware 15R2 is not able to connect to wifi, it is really fustrating.
Can you please describe the step at which communication fails?
- Does the Orbi WiFi name (SSID) appear as one of the WiFi networks?
- Is there an error message that appears when connection is attempted?
Do other devices (besides these Windows computers) connect successfully?
