orbi rbr50 no net or wifi when connected
Hello all, hope the community can help, ive got NBN internet, it was working fine untill last week, long story short, telstra replaced all the hardware, now my wifi routers would not connect ethernet...
i went and bought a telstra modem, it seems to work when i wired it directly to the ethernet port on the orbi but doesnt work when its in the internet port, my phones and tv has wifi accept for the laptop, its connected directly to a lan port on the telstra modem, i tryed to switch to wifi so i can log in netgear but its not working, ive dl the netgear app but it says incorrect wifi mobile router, this router is not supported by netgear app, i have loged in the past with my laptop to block some device from using my wifi but cant seem to do it now, keeps telling me to connect to the orbi wifi network
do i need a ethernet splitter? befor i had the cable connected to the orbi wifi roucter via the internet port, then a cable from the ethernet port on the wifi to my pc, i could log in then, should i buy a ethernet spitter? spit from my pc, 1 cable to modem and the other to wifi router internet port?
The isp modem connection needs to be conected to the Yellow internet port on the RBR. Even in AP mode.
What is the model# of the new modem?
sorry to waste you guys time, i solved the problem, i play abit of online games and trying to reduce the lag, i connected my pc direcly to the modem but i get no net, so i connected the pc to the orbi router via ethernet, the internet port is connected to the modem, i can log in now and block certain wifi users, i want to slow certain deviced but cant seem to do it, iam in Qos setup but its only showing me internet test, does anybody know how to do it? or should i just start a new topic?
QoS on Orbi is all automatic and mostly a Basic QoS from what I gather. Orbi doesn't have a more granual QoS UI for users to make configurations.
