connecting orbi to a switch vs directly to dsl modem?
My current connection: dsl service comes into house directly into a filter, then 2 outs (one to phone service throughout the house and one to dsl modem). my dsl modem is then connected to a 16 port...
Yes, and set Orbi to AP Mode. If you miss this during setup, you can change it in the Orbi ADVANCED page in Advanced Setup.
Thanks - so can i connect the orbi to the 16 port switch only (no direct connection to the modem - only through switch) just as i do now with the wireless access point? Am I following you correctly?
