Bonjour, J'habite en Belgique et je suis client chez Proximus. Y-a-t-il une personne qui utilise un systeme ORBI avec une B_BOX 3 ? Avez vous des problèmes, Y a t il une amméliration des performance du wifi? Merci Marc

I am leaving in Belgium, I would like to know if Orbi or orbi pro are already tested with Proximus? Do you have a document to define the requirement for selecting the best solution/model?I have for the moment a Ex8000 but it is not stable connected to the proximus box.

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Modem Combo Units:Couple of options,1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop or https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point NG doesn't have any information on this Proximus box. Is this a router or a ISP modem? Orbi generally works with any ISP modem while in router mode, or other router if you configure the Orbi in AP mode. https://www.netgear.com/support/product/orbi.aspx Best way to see what is available and fit it to your home and needs.

Hi Thanks for the information, but I still have question: When I connect Orbi, on the existing gateway -router. If I connect device on the other ethernet port available on my router (we have 4 in total) Do we have communication from device on this part of the network to the one connected in Wifi or cable on ORBI? Link to the Internet provider abd the BBOX https://www.proximus.be/support/en/id_sfaqr_mdm_manual/personal/support/internet/internet-at-home/installation-and-cables/installation-guide-of-your-modem-b-box-3v-b-box-3-etc.html Guide in french of the installation of the Router Thanks in advance Marc

I could not fully understand the user guide in French, but as I can see this is a DSL modem with wifi and router functionality. 1. You have either to disable the router functionality and Wifi in the ISP modem and use Orbi in Router Mode 2. Or, keep the router functionality in the ISP modem but switch off its wifi and use Orbi in AP mode. In summary I don't see any issue in using Orbi with your ISP modem, it's just that you need the choose the correct settings for both the modem and Orbi.

Bonjour,

Je suis dans le même cas. Je viens de recevoir Orbi.

J'ai désactivé le wifi de la BBOX, enlevé le PPP pour utiliser cette box comme bridge donc plus de mode routeur. J'utilise un compte PPPoe lors de la connexion orbi pour l'internet. Les identifiants et pass sont disponible via l'interface MyProximus. Dans les produits, internet il y a la possibilité de définir ce mot de passe PPPoe. Le user est présent aussi.

Pour moi cela fonctionne mais je dois encore tester c'est assez...frais. J'ai eu un soucis avec le dns récupéré de Proximus, j'avais accès uniquement à certains sites. J'ai ajouté les dns google (8.8.8.8 et 8.8.4.4) et cela semble fonctionner à merveille.
