Comcast modem and Orbi with 2 Satellites
I have an xfinity modem and Orbi with 2 satellites. I recently have been having issues when I spoke to Comcast they had the bridge turned off, I had it on but every time they do something it goes off....
Ok, my Orbi FM is 2.2.1.210
ISP modem is Arris TG1682G
I am currently running with bridge enabled and Orbi in AP mode ( this is what Comcast had me do the night my issues started)
But if I understand correctly if I have the bridge enabled the Orbi should be in AP mode
OR
Disable bridge and Orbi in router mode.
Is this correct?

Since your ISP modem does have a router built in, if the modem is in bridge mode, then the Orbi should be in Router mode.
FYI, 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 leaving it in router mode 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
