RBR50 no internet connection

I recently set-up my Orbi RBR50. My mobile devices are connected with internet, but my laptop joins the network but has no internet connection. Any help appreciated.

Re: RBR50 no internet connection

What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

What firmware is on the router?

Connecting to the internet does not require a firmware update. Depending on which firmware is installed on the Orbi, there may reasons to update firmware, but "connecting" is not one of them.

 

Perhaps a little more information will help clarify the situation.

The Orbi was working previously, and nothing has changed?
The general recommendation is to do this:
Power off the Orbi and the ISP modem.
Ensure that the ethernet cable goes from the Orbi yellow (WAN) port to the modem.
Power on the modem and wait 2-3 minutes until it stabilizes. (Yes, computers are not speedy.)
Power on the Orbi and observe the "ring lights" at the top in the context of these instructions:
