RBR40 Have WIFI Connection But Cannot access Internet

If you're going through the Arris modem/router combo device, it'll help to either  have that in modem only mode or the Orbi in AP mode. 

What firmware are you running on the orbi? if it hasn't been connected to the internet, it probably hasn't been updated in a while. I'd do the updates, reset the orbi, and then try doing your setup. Just make sure you figure out which device you want running as router. 

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

Modem Combo Units:
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

Hi,

 

I go ORBI RBR40 as gift some time back. Tried connecting, had some issues so I scrapped. I tried setting up again today but no luck.

The ORBI starts fine, is connected to my modem. I can see ORBI (ORBI94) as wifi network on my Mac. But when I connect to ORBI94 wifi network, I have no access to internet. Cannot access  http://orbilogin.com

 

Because I have/see ORBI wifi network, it would seem connection between ORBI->my router/modem->internet is not being allowed. I have Arris cable modem/router. Any suggestions on what I need to look at, do to have ORBI access internet?
