Enabling Bridge Mode LBR20

I’m looking to enable bridge on my Orbi LTE router but the option is locked on the admin page. Is there anyway to unlock this? My SIM card carrier says that they aren’t able to on their side. I’m looking to bridge to a AMPLIFI HD. 

Thanks!

    Hello Lmarins,

     

    Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!

     

    I understand that you would like to set your Orbi LTE to bride mode. In order to change your router to bridge mode, you must first disable the mobile broadband connection. When the mobile broadband has been disabled then the router will be able to connect to the network through a wired connection to the modem. 

     

    Please follow the steps below to change your router to bridge mode:

     

    • Select ADVANCED > Setup > Internet Setup > Mobile Broadband Settings.
    • Then Disable 3G/4G connection.

     

    Best,

    Kevin

  • Just to clarify because some people mean different things by bridge mode. 

    What are you actually attempting to do? 

    Are you wanting to use the LBR20 just as a modem? 

    Just as a router? 

    As a failover device for the unify? 

    so again, whats your end goal for setup and for it to accomplish

      Yeah, I'm looking to have the LBR20 just as a Modem for the Amplifi Router so I'll only have one SSID.
