How do I Reset Orbi as Access Point
The root issue is that I have not been able to connect to my wireless printer from my windows 10 desktop for a several weeks. My destop is having connection issues with the devices attached to the O...
I reset the Orbi to be an access point. I temporarily lost access to the printer and music server but restarting the Orbi and the PC fixed that.
(It looked like the Orbi automatically restarted when the change was made, but apparently that was not the case.)
We will see if the issue with internet access re-occurs again. Maybe this has solved the problem. Thanks for all your advice. (This is better than waiting days for a response from Netgear.) I will let you know tomorrow if this solution worked.

If any one knows who to get the ethernet devices plugged into the router to talk to each other, it would be helpful.
Do you really need to connect those devices to the ATT router instead of your Orbi? Your home network would be much simpler if you just connect everything to the Orbi and only have one device connected to the ATT router, the Orbi.
My Orbi has two ethernet ports otherwise I would do that. Before moving the cables to the router, I had them connected to an netgear ethernet switch. ATT tech thought that was contributing to the problem of being able to resolve websites when the browser was first lauched.
