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://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
Depending upon what the Orbi router is getting from the ISP modem IP address wise, this will me how you connect to telnet on the Orbi, so if the Orbi changed it's LAN IP address to avoid a confllic with the ISP modem, it maybe now using 191.168.0.@ or a 10.something address pool string on the LAN side. Use this IP address string to connect to telnet.
