The Orbi system is a mesh system that uses tri-band technology to provide a wireless network in the home for all types of devices. This means that you can stream to multiple devices at the same time without issue. The Orbi system from Netgear is one of the best systems available on the market. Read on to learn more about it and how you can connect it to the AT&T modem.
I got my Orbi a couple of weeks ago. Was having some issues getting it connected to my AT&T Modem Model 5363. I have Spectrum Internet and have gotten rid of AT&T's boxes because I could get faster speeds with my own modem than what AT&T was giving me. My problem was that the Orbi would not see my modem and therefore would not connect to the Internet.
Steps to connect Orbi Router to ATT Modem
1. Make sure that the Orbi's Satellite and Router are connected to the modem via Ethernet cables.
2. Click the button in the top left corner to go to "Network" where you will see the modem. Click on the down arrow to the right of the modem.
3. You will see the modem as an option in the menu. Select the modem.
4. Enter the username and password that you are either given by AT&T or the one you set up for the account.
5. It should connect to the modem and you will be connected to the Internet. I hope this helps!
Summing UP:
If you want to connect your router to your AT&T modem, you need to make sure that the modem is set to bridged mode. It's important to note that if you leave the modem in the default gateway mode, you will not have Internet access. We also recommend updating the firmware on both your modem and router. The Orbi firmware update will be available on the Netgear website. If you still facing the same issue visit orbilogin.com or call our technician they will surely help you.
