Fios Quantum router with orbi RBR50/RBS50
I have the Fios for internet only. Should i turn of the WiFi on the fios router and just use to orbi? Or should I use the Fios as router and put the Orbi in AP mode? Thanks

AP mode would have more performance as it woudn't have to process as much data as if it was in router mode.

- GellieJul 26, 2019AspirantOk so I think Im pretty much good to go. Orbi in AP mode with daisy chain on. What features or enhancements am I missing by not using router mode? Thanks.

The router of course, Traffic Meter, Circle and Armor security apps and access controls.
Enjoy.

Yes. But in terms of performance, speed ,distance is AP mode a compromise?
