Orbi AC2200 RBK30 with no Modem
I have a Orbi RBK30 that came yesterday, I am attempting to set up the router but the instructions state to reset your modem in order for the internet to work. I have fios internet but I have a wall plug with no modem. I attempted to plug the ethernet cord directly from the wall to the router and I am able to connect to the router but no internet. I use another router and the internet works fine, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?No orbi network during setup
Existing modem/router is a Ubee device from Spectrum (nee TWC). Setup up router and satellite following the very basic quick start guide. No Orbi wifi network ever showed up. Among the various options tried at this point: Tried switching among the 4 ethernet ports on the Ubee. Restarted Ubee and Orbi multiple times. Tried connecting directly to Orbi using an ethernet cable to my laptop but again no connection or recognition that I plugged anything in. Plugged ethernet directly into Ubee and could see the Orbi on the ethernet port. Reset Orbi. Spent an hour plus reading every discussion thread and saw nothing related to there not being a wifi signal out of Orbi or connecting to Orbi physically with an ethernet cable but not seeing anything. I stopped working with the satellite midway through the process assuming that satellite connection didn't matter if router is not doing anything. If I can't connect to router, I can't do a firmware upgrade, change any settings, etc. Any ideas? The instructions and support information is very basic without any detail about or options for a situation like this. I will be returning this shortly.Connect Netgear WNR 1000v2 to comcast technicolor tc8305c gateway to extend wifi signal
Ok People, I only know enough to be dangerours and Comcast is NO HELP at all so please go easy on me. (Completely different topic that I could B*#^@% about for Days). Anyway... I have Poor Wifi in areas of house from comcast technicolor tc8305c. (tc8305c is in lower level of house and it's pretty much going to be very difficult to relocate and signal is very poor on second level addition to home) I have run ethernet from the tc8305c up to an old wnr1000v2 in order to extend or repeat the wifi signal. I have been able to get this to work using Lan from gateway (tc8305c) to wan port on wnr1000v2. In that configuration, both have seperate SSID. This does work, but wondering if some of the laging issues are due to double NAT I've read about. The gateway (tc8305c) to internet uses an ip of 10.0.0.1 while the wnr1000v2 uses 192.168.1.1 Both have DHCP enabled. In reading about this, it appears if I change the ethernet from Lan to Wan over to Lan on Gateway to Lan on Wnr10000v2 and give the wnr1000v2 a static ip address and disable DHCP that is supposed to work. However I cannot figure out what the static address should be. DHCP for the gateway is set Beginning at 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.252 and I believe the wnr1000v2 needs to be set outside that? (So 10.0.0.253?) I don't care if they have 2 seperate Ip address, however I have also read that going Lan to Lan, if I change the SSID on wnr1000v2 to match that of the gateway, then everything is "supposed" to flow seamlesly and would use whatever signal is strongest depending on where in house you are. This apparently would also make a wifi network (Work)? Hope this makes some sort of sense. If the above isn't possible, what is the best way to get the signal to reach all areas of the house using an hard wired ethernet connection from the gateway up to addition. Anyway, "ANY" help would be much appreciated. I'll send out for Scotch ! (Or Whiskey, whatever gets this thing working). Thanks Very Much Macwn2000rpt
Last night while I was sleeping my Internet extender stopped working. I use It to connect my tower to the wifi and I need it for homework tonight. Anyway, when I woke up all lights were green except the top one, which was red. I've had a ton of issues with this thing already so I just factory reset it without trying anything else. I'm going through the setup process with a laptop and right at the end it says my wifi has disappeared and to move it closer. The wifi was still working as my phone was still connected to it during the install. This has happened 6 times in a row and I've tried turning the main wifi on and off with no results. The wifi is some type of motorola modem btw. Any ideas on how to fix it? Network dignostics say that "the remote device or resource wont accept the connection"
