Hi - I am experiencing a couple of problems with my new Orbi / PC. I am running Win7x64 SP1.
The two problems may be related in some way - not sure.
Here's the first problem:
And ... Here's the second problem:
Any help?

The two problems may be related in some way - not sure.
Here's the first problem:
For some reason, I can't get to the Orbi configuration page (at 192.168.1.1) on my main PC. I tried Chrome and Internet Explorer. Neither one connects.
My main PC is directly connected to one of the Ethernet ports in the back of the Orbi router. I don't have any satellites set up yet.
In Chrome, I see a "This site can't be reached. The connection was reset." error message.
Here's the oddball thing: If I use one of my other computers on the same network (another PC wired through a switch to the router), I can get to 192.168.1.1 and can configure the Orbi just fine. I can also get to it through a wireless connection on my Android tablet.
So, the problem isn't likely to be the Orbi, and more likely to be my PC. However, I was able to connect to my previous Netgear R6300v2 @ 192.168.1.1 without any problems.
I've reset the PC a few times now, factory reset the Orbi, and power reset the Orbi and my other switches on the network. No effect.

And ... Here's the second problem:
I have the Orbi router set up to be my DHCP server. My LAN setup has a lot of static IP addresses. My main PC is set for 192.168.1.100.
The IP address appears to be getting set properly by the Orbi (my main PC is set to 192.168.1.100), but I hear the Win7 short audio "pops" play very frequently and randomly (the default Win7 audio for network connection changes). If I set the PC to a fixed IPv4 address of 192.168.1.100, the audio "pops" stop.
Again, I didn't have this issue with my Netgear R6300v2.
