I'm going to try that tomorrow st_shaw - I already put away the cable and my brain is toast right now. I'm pissed about not being able to game tonight and vent my rage *LOL*
It's killing me that I had zero issues before, and now nothing but........
Right now I have the Orbi (yellow port) wired into the LAN1 port, so tomorrow I will disable the wireless setting on the Zhone and see if that corrects things.
Sounds good. After disabling wireless on the Zhone make sure you log into the Orbi interface and switch from Router mode to Access Point mode. It's under Advanced, Advanced Setup, Router/AP Mode.
Ok, since you didn't set up the initial admin PW and such, I would do a factory reset on the router. Have the PC connected to the LAN port. You can have the WAN port connected to the main ISP modem. Hold the reset button in back of the router till the top led turns amber yellowish. Then let go. The top led should blink WHITE ON and OFF then start to plusate slowly. Should be able to log into 192.168.1.1 and the setup wizard should be presented. Walk thru this and set this up. Write down you infomation so you know what it is for future reference.
OK, I'm gonna go and try and do the hard reset the ORBI now
YOU ARE THE MAN (OR WOMAN) !!!!!!!!!!!!! :robotlol:
Seriously, the hard reset worked !!! Everythings back and function as before.
I owe you !!
Glad it's working again. Now you can go back and decide to use DMZ on your ISP modem if you wanna use the Orbi in Router mode or change to AP mode. If its workng for now, I'd leave the Orbi where it's at and set up the DMZ on the modem for the Orbi router.
Glad I could be of help. Enjoy.
M here. :smileytongue:
Well, I decided to not mess with it, as it was working great, but today we lost power and now I am having an issue with it connecting to the modem. again. So, I'm gonna re-do everything and see what happens.
