Hi all,
Hope someone can help, its driving me Bonkers after spending £400 on this gear.
So I managed to overcome the BT hurdle of connecting the Orbi Router straight to the box on the wall ONT (perhaps is it called) from BT and connected details using PPPoE, all fine interent connection sorted.
However, upon setup of the ORbi I used the info card from the back of my old BT hub mesh netwrok to copy the SSID and password which is what all the 30-40 devices in my home were connected to, through the old BT Smarthub and satellites around the house. All done on the assumption this would be easier and they would all reconnect.
However not one of them has re-established connection. I have checked the details for the Orbi SSID and password that i set, to make sure it matches the old details and its spot, on yet nothing reconnects.
If I go to some of the items like smart TV's and Apple TV's the netwrok shows up with the same name when looking at available networks, ill then click it but then it askes for the password. It seems something is telling the devices its not the same netwrok, despite it having the same SSID and password.
I saw a post about checking the IP address range and thats goes from .2 to .254.
Very frustrating and like a lot of people seem to say about Netgear, tempted to send it all back and revert to the old.
I do have some hardwired items plugeed into the Orbi which are the only devices showing up and working fine apart from the phone I set the Orbi up on using the app.
Any help would be greatly appreciatted
