D6200 and Orbi
I have had a D6200 ADSL/ADSL2 WiFi Router for some years, I am in the process of purchasing Orbi as I am unable to cover the house just with the router.
2 Questions: Is orbi compatible with the D6200
What do I need to set on the D6200 (my ISP requires login and I have fixed IP)
Many thanks for the communities help.

You can use D6200 gateway with Orbi, either you can configure orbi on AP or Router Mode.
If you configure in AP you do not want to make any changes on the D6200 just conenct to one end Ethernet to LAN D6200 other end to WAN Orbi and if you want on Router mode try to bridge the D6200 by going to Advanced ->advanced setup-> Device mode ->select modem only to bridge and apply the ISP credentials on the Orbi Basic->Internet->select does your internet connection required login "yes" input the credentilas and apply
I need it in router mode as I have run out of MAC address slots on the D6200 which I use to control access.
I assume Orbi is able to handle more than the D6200 can.
Yes, Technically you can connect 253 devices since the DHCP ip range from xx.xx.xx.(0-254), and for sure it is more powerfull than D6200.
