Hello,
ATT doesn’t allow bridge but I did enable pass through/DMZPLUS and I was able to shut off the WiFi. I was also able to login to the Orbi and enable AP mode. Thank you this solved our problem.

However I am having work VPN issues today. Is this a co. Issue? Or is a VPN connectivity issue a bi-product of the changes I made above?

Thanks

Ok.

Any VPN issues would not be or should not be effected by what you did, however DMZ and IP pass thru is not needed since you configured the RBR for AP mode. DMZ or IP passthru is only needed if you use the RBR in router mode.

Do I need to turn off the pass through? ie is it hurting anything by having it on?

Thank you again for all your help.

  Yes, it would be a security issue since your by passing the firewall on the modem. If you had the RBR in router mode then the RBRs firewall would be used.
