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

Guide in french of the installation of the Router

Thanks in advance

There are two different IP addresses in use, so communication between these IP addresses, one on the modem and one on the Orbi will be different. Communication between these will not work correctly. It's recommended if to connect everything to the Orbi router. If you need more LAN ports in addition to the ones on the Orbi router, you can always add a external non managed LAN switch. They make switch that have from 5 to 48 ports. Fairly inexpensive too.

Hi

I have purchased the orbi with one satelite, and i have a very good Wifi now.

thanks for your great product.

But I have a trouble, in my big house i have an unmanged swith far from the BBOX-3.

To connect this one I have a cable.

I have move the cable from the BBOX3 on the Orbi Router, for most of the device this is working fine, but for the IPTV decoder this is not working it say:

no signal. It seems the IPTV signal is not forwarded correctly

Do you have a solution?

Is it possible to transfer those informations also true the ORBI router?

Thanks in advance

  Try putting the IPTV in the DMZ of the Orbi router...
