After that I try to connect my gaming pc same thing and after that same results with my alienware r3 laptot so It was clear that it was not my devices fault so I went to check all orbi settings. Turns out that when I changed de SSID the problem was solved.

 

Thanks all for your kind support 

Glad you were able to successfully connect your devices to your new Orbi.

 

One last recommendation - If your old SSID is still visible then perhaps your old wireless system is still running (in parallel to your Orbi).  Turn off the wireless for that old device since you're now only using the new Orbi wireless network.  This will reduce network congestion and confusion.
