Orbi RBR50 Can’t Connect

Can’t seem to get the internet connection through the Orbi. Followed all steps, hub 5 in modem mode, but no internet connection through the Orbi app. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

  • There are no settings to enter as VM use DHCP, as mentioned above.

    Has the Orbi been used with another ISP previously?

    Are you in a position to do a full reset?

    Is the Orbi setup in DHCP mode for the WAN?  Did you power off the Hub before connecting the Orbi? The Orbi should be on first and then after a few minutes power in the Hub.  

  • Just to add to the above is the Orbi the only device plugged into the HUB via ethernet, AND the HUB has been rebooted since?

  • Using the normal port, not the 2.5. The link suggests I need to manually put ISP settings on, do you know where these can be found for VM? Hub was green.

        Ah, thanks. It was used previously around 4 years ago on a different hub. I did try resetting everything, but kept getting the same no connection to the internet.
