Can't login to Orbi AC3000 (RBR50) setup as access point
I can't login to an Orbi that I've configured as an access point.
I have configured an Orbi AC3000 (RBR50) as an access point.
(Replaced a Netgear R6100 that I was using as an access point). ...
Based on what you describe, Orbi is actually running in router mode, not access point mode, with a WAN IP of 192.168.1.71. That's why you cannot access it at this IP. Access from the "WAN" IP is blocked by the firewall.
Connect to Orib's WiFi, and access the router GUI at 10.0.0.1. Then try again to set it up in Access Point mode in the GUI under Advanced, Advanced Setup, Router/AP Mode. You need to hit the Apply button for the Access Point mode setting to take effect.
The different MAC addresses you see are not a problem.
Also, you shouldn't have other access points on your network when using Orbi. You should remove all other APs. Orbi uses a lot of WiFI spectrum and doesn't provide the configurability necessary to coexist well with other APs on the same network.

That was it.
It was still in Router Mode, not Access Point.
I must have just exited the screen, instead of hitting apply.
Thanks for your help.
Good. Glad you got it working.
