Orbi config in AP/Bridge arrangement
Hi, I picked up a 3 unit Orbi from Costco yesterday, and pluged it all in and it worked perfectly without any configuration. But I cant seem to get into a configuration mode where I can change the SSID. I did not plug anything into the "internet" jack, I pluged my wired network into the switch on the "router" and turned on the other units and used its wifi backbone to connect other wired devices. Worked great! But without anything pluged into the "internet" jack, I don't seem to be able to get to a configuration screen of any kind. Both the AP and the orbilogin.com tells me I'm not connected to the internet, even though when I use the default ORBI SSID, I can browse the internet just fine. I do not want to use the ORBI for my router firewall...I have one of those, I just want to use it like I am, but I want to change the SSID! any ideas? Do I actually need to use the orbi for the "firewall" to initially get into the config? Thanks! --KeithConfigure C6300 for Bridge mode to connect to AC791L Hotspot
Ok, so I have an AC791L hot spot and I want to give it more wireless range and connect ethernet devices to the C6300 and have the C6300 wirelessly connect to the AC791L... I believe this is called a bridge... WIll this work in this configuration? And I've searched but all the owner's manual states is set bridge mode... Well that doesn't work... There must be more to it that I am not seeing... A repeater might do the wireless stuff, but I need to be able to hook up ethernet cables to the C6300... Pleae help! I am not uing the C6300 s a router for cable internet it is stand alone... Any pointers to the config docs would be appreciated... Thanks, M0
