Arris 3450 with Orbi RBK50 - DMZ Setup
Last week I purchased an Orbi RBK50 and had no problems. Today I was given a new Arris 3450 Modem/Router by my cable company. This is the first modem/router I have had and wasn't expecting it. So ...

192.168.0.2 is the IP that the Orbi is getting, I made it static. I ended up taking the / out of the last "octet" of he IPv6 and leaving it and all the others 0. It saved and seems to work, so I hope I am good now.

I have turned off all the wifi radios on the modem and am trying to configure the DMZ. But it requires an IPv6 address as well ad an IPv4 and I don't know what the IPV6 is and it won't save without it.

What is the IP address the RBR is getting from the ISP Modem? Look under the Advanced Tab and Internet section, if maybe a 192.168.something or a 10 or 172 address, you might take this address and input it in to this converter and see if this gives you an IPv6 address to input into the modems DMZ IPv6.

Good to hear. Glad you got it working. Yes you should be good now. Do some internet browsing and streaming and test it out. Come back and mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
