Connect RBK753S to CAX80
Greetings, Is anyone able to advise me on the order of steps for connecting an Orbi RBK753 to my CAX80 modem, router, wifi? I have already turned off the wireless feature of the CAX80 in an attempt to work with my 3 Unifi AP Pro access points; however, I continue to randomly lose connectivity for short periods. The purchase of the RBK753 is an attempt to use current technology with the CAX80. I understand that the CAX80 will need to be placed into bridge mode to disable the router feature which will avoid a doubling of the router/NATS. Should the CAX80 be placed in bridge mode prior to installing the RBK753, or after? Thanks in advance for this kind assistance.

Place the CAX80 in bridge mode if you want to use the RBK7 series in router mode, or set the CAX80 for router mode and set the RBK7 series for AP Mode. Either mode will work.
Be sure to post in the Orbi AX forum for the RBK7 series system:

Be sure to post in the Cable modem forum for the CAX80:
