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.
If you read the initial post you will see three options, none of which propose a two router solution. The OP clearly understands what a bridged modem, AP, and router are, so what is the point in a generic response?
"two routers on a network" may be a common problem, but it is not relevant here. Rather than clutter every thread with general canned advice why not create stickys?
You complain about someone cluttering up the discussion with boilerplate text that was in response to a message from you that had sweet nothing to do with this discussion, or any discussion.
Oh, the irony.
Perhaps you should spend a bit of time reading the notes on how to use this community.
