Best setup for 1Gbit/s FTTH PPPoE, FRITZ!Box 4040 and Orbi RBK53
I just received my new Orbi RBK53. Can I get some advise how to optimally implement these beauties in my setup. So what's the best option for my 1Gbit/s FTTH (PPPoE), FRITZ!Box 4040 and Orbi RBK53:
...
Frankly, I'd go with a different option, get a good wired router to pair with the Orbi as an AP. The Orbi and Fritz both excel with wifi, not routing.
From your choices, I'd go with #1, the Fritz has got to have better routing than the Orbi. #2 and #3 involve using the Orbi as a router, it might work, but this board is filled with people complaining about Orbi in routing mode, very few complain with it in AP mode.
Thanks guys for your prompt replies on this. Well "less devices" also means "all in one" in this case which from my exp. It's not always the best option. I think I'll try to find some better wired router and pair it with Orbi RBR50.
So let us know what you needed up with. Were all curious.

Hi FURRYe38, I'm fine with the Ragar99 answer and also agree with his other comments.
So far I'm enjoying the Orbi performance, around 400 Mbps in each corner in my house on WiFii ONLY. It's better than I was expecting and saved me from drilling holes through walls, ceiling, wiring, etc. ...happy ;)
Good to hear.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
