Thank you! That worked perfectly. I really wish Netgear would anticipate these issues and add a simple notification to new Orbi users of the need to go to Advanced Settings to change to the access point setting on the Orbi router when connecting via existing (in my case) AT&T router / modem. Much frustration over something that was easily fixed and should have been part of the standard set-up instructions. Oh well...
interesting point.....I suspect like many consumer goods, NG exepcts folks to have a understanding how a home network works. This would include such things as a modem, router (one only please), extenders, etc.
The other side to the equation would be then to also have a understanding of what the consumer currently has in their home, i.e. do I already have a modem, router (ouch).
Most of the problems (outside of firmware updates) that I have seen here is in the case where folks have no idea what they currently have and/or if the Orbi will work easily with the current setup without major configurations.
