Eero mesh network and Obi?
RobertNYC:
When I call ***1 I get the response: "IP Address is not available. DHCP is enabled." When I call **9 222 222 222 I get the response: " IP Address not available. Check FAQ for reason: 00"
I checked the FAQ and I don't find a link to tell me what "00" might mean.
The power light (left most) is blinking off and on, and the middle and right most (Phone 2) indicators are on in a steady state. The Phone 1 indicator and the indicator light second from left are both off. I do have the cable plugged into the LAN socket and not the INTERNET socket.

There is your problem. It should NOT be in the LAN socket.
RobertNYC:
That did it! Thank you!
I'm pretty sure I always had the cable in the LAN socket. Can that NOT have been the case? Assuming I didn't go into a fugue yesterday and move the cable from INTERNET to LAN without any reason to do so or any memory of it, is the change required because of the difference between my prior router and the mesh network device?
Whatever the case may be with my cognitive circumstances, I again thank you for taking the time and interest to help me out here!

Nothing to do with the change of router. Plug in your Apple one again and connect it to the OBi202's LAN port and I guarantee you'll be back to a non-functioning state.
It is possible to use the LAN port instead of the INTERNET port by running an OBi202 in bridge mode. However that is not the default mode and it requires deliberate action to make the change. It does not happen by accident and it is not a trivial operation that you would have forgotten doing.
Even if somehow it was in bridge mode, it no longer is. Some manual action is required to take it out of bridge mode. Either reverting the config setting or doing a factory reset.
So I'd be inclined to severely doubt that it was previously wired to the LAN socket.
But glad to hear that you are up and running again.
RobertNYC:
Okay, it is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, etc., etc.
I really do not recall removing the cable from INTERNET to LAN on the Obi yesterday when setting up the Eero Mesh network, and neither can I guess why I would have done so. However, based on your comments, I conclude I must have done exactly that without realizing it.
Thanks, again.
