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, LAN to LAN and configure AP mode on the Orbi router.

Thanks FURRYe38.
Which of these 3 options is BEST? And when I say best, I mean gives me the most speed.
I currently have option 3 setup (Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, LAN to LAN and configure AP mode on the Orbi router.) although I don't know how to "configure AP mode on the Orbi router".
Thanks!
