Ethernet Connections
I picked up an RBK23. On my FIOS cablemodem, I have 3 ethernet connections. I am trying to avoid adding a switch and do not want to put the RBK23 in AP mode. Can I still use the 3 ports on my cable...
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
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, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
The cablemodem is a FIOS Quantum Gateway Model FiOS-G1100
Ok, yes, this has a built in router.
Try option 2 first.
