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.

So this morning I was able to access the Zhone Modem page and disbale the wifi signal. That seemed to clear up some issues and I was able to get a connection on my PS4. But I have been unable to access the ORBI page to check to see if it is setup as AP. Everytime I try to log in it won't allow me to.
Can you log in to the Orbi with a wired PC connected to the back of the router?

You will not be able to log into Orbi from any device connected to the Zhone, until you switch Orbi to Access Point mode. This is one reason you need to switch it to Access Point mode.
Wire a device to one of the LAN ports on the back of the Orbi "router." Then open a web broswer and log into http://orbilogin.com or http://10.0.0.1. You will need to log into Orbi using the administrator credentials. The defaults are admin/password. You might have changed the password at initial setup.
Okay, I am in and it is setup as router. How do I swap it to AP ?
