ORBI Won't allow internet connection
So here's an interesting one. My Orbi has been set up for about a week and everything is working fine with the base station and 2 satellites. All of my devices are connected and can access the internet.
Except for one. I have an Ipad mini that will connect to the wifi network but then nothing else happens. I cannot access the internet through it. At first it showed as being "Paused" in the device list through the app and once I got it to "Resume" it still will not access the internet. I can get onto the guest network and even downloaded the app's (plus genie) to try and have it recognized as an access device. No dice.
I have rebooted the router and my Ipad multiple times and it comes back the same. All other household devices connect and work fine. The Ipad will not.
Am I miising something? Not a very technical person but I did manage to set up the system.
Help!
Jeff

Re: ORBI Won't allow internet connection
Go into your network settings on your Ipad and forget the Orbi network.
Then try and connect to it again, re-entering the password.

Re: ORBI Won't allow internet connection
Orbi satellites have been dropping connections. It's a long-standing issue and Netgear hasn't done anything to solve it. If that's your issue, I'd suggest reutrning the Orbi while you still can. I wish I could.

Do you have the latest firmware on both the Orbi and on the Ipad?
