Devices not connecting in mesh network??? Orbi RBK50

That means that the AV receiver was using a Static IP rather than Dynamic IP from DHCP.  And since the static IP was for a different subnet than the 192.168.1 subnet of your Orbi, it was not seen on the network.  Glad you got it figured out now.  Since you set the static IP to 192.168.1.90, I suggest adding that to the DHCP Address Reservations under the Advanced -> Setup -> LAN Setup page of the web interface to the Orbi.  That way nothing else will get assigned a conflicting IP by DHCP if your receiver is off the network.

SOLVED!!!!

Thank you, everyone for your ideas!

 

I was thinking more about the IP address.

The reciever IP address was 192.168.182.1.  It was configurable, so I changed the .1 to a .5

The app has the ability to put in specific IP addresses for which the app would search.  I put in the .5 address.  No go.

Everything else is 192.168.1.xxx.   A 1 where the receiver had 182.

I went to the receiver and put in 192.168.1.90, then put that in the app.  Voila!!  It worked.

Don;t ask why or how...I have no idea.  But it worked.

 

Thank you all again!!  I love forums like these!

 

Cheers,
