can't access all options with orbilogin
I have recently changed out my Apple Express for an Orbi AC3000. I am very pleased. However when I go to use orbilogin.com to configure my device I am only able to select some of the options. Others are greyed out like LAN setup, Parental Controls, Internet. I have searched the support forums and am having no luck. I also have the latest version of firmware. I have tried using my Mac and iPad. Both also are up to date with their software. HELP!!! Thanks,

AC3000 Connect to Comcast
Good evening, I'm trying to set up my Orbi RBR50 with my current Comcast ISP. I can set up the Orbi network, but then when I set Orbi to Router mode and enable bridging on Comcast hardware the network drops out. So, ultimately, I'd like to set it up to run as the router and disable the Comcast wifi. What steps am I missing? Thank you

HP4050 IP-based laser printer stopped working after Orbi upgrade
So - totally thrilled with the new WiFi coverage and speeds throughout the house, BUT, our workhorse HP 4050 can no longer be printed to from any of our Mac systems! The printer was initially set at 10.0.1.100 when it was working on the old network -- I changed it to follow the new Orbi router IP (192.168.1.1) - so the printer is now a fixed IP at 192.168.1.250 - but it refuses to print. I've deleting the old printer profile on two Macs and setting up new ones using the Line Printer Daemon - LPD setting, it just spins and spins forever when trying to "setting up"... and never successfully prints anything anymore. Hoping someone can help.

Wireless Performance Mixing AC3000 / AC2200
Current system: RBK50 (claims up to 5,000sq ft) coverage. FW v1.12.0.18 Home: 2 story 2,600sq ft, nothing significant from a construction or interference stand point. RBR50 on first floor left side of house. RBS50 on second floor middle of structure. While the orbi has improved sustained throughput to most wireless devices, its signal does not deliver (not even close) to the theoretical sq footage estimate. This was the primary reason for the purchase and is for the most part largely disappointing. I'd rate it at 2,500sq ft maximum. I'm not going through bricks, metal or glass (nothing crazy). Have messed withthe MIMO and beamforming settings as well. Sorry netgear, fail thus far. I'm really not interested in purchasing another RBS50 for $250 when the current broadcast performace is only marginally better in comparison to a WNDR4500 or R6400 that served the house previously. I expected a little bit more from a signal (broadcast) perspective. Comparitively, the R7000 at my other house does better broadcast (signal) wise. New FW: So I see Netgear has v2.x FW available which I am going to try later today. I'll try turning the broadcast power to 10 and see if things improve. We have no neighbors so I won't be "unfriedly" from that perspective. Now my question. If I put a RBW30 (AC2200) in the "mostly dead" room - which happens to be the room directly above where the RBR50 is now... what will this do to the systems throughput? Please, before everyone replies with their speculation (or what they think) please be certain or have something concrete to backup your answer. Network bandwidth whether maximum or theoretical (in a wireless specific situation) can be affected by a device with slower front/backhaul. In this case a AC2200 sattelite on the AC3000 network. Thus far, I haven't found any documention that answers this question. Great if the AC2200 opearates "isolated" without affecting the entire networks bandwidth, but I'd like to get confirmation on this before investing further in this solution. I hope the v2 FW will improve the broadcast signal strength, as this is my only real complain with the orbi. Throughput is there, I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot and cripple what I have. Wish the SRK60 was available when I purchased the RBK50. I would have gladly spent the additional money.

Firmware Roll Back Question
Since auto update can not be disabled is there the ability to roll back to a previous version? Also would it be possible to add a schedule time of day for an update? I only ask b/c a router reboot at the wrong time could have a negitive impact something you are doing.
