Help with Set-up RBK50 - Centurylink Fiber (Eliminate D2100T?)
I'm wanting to try to eliminate the Router that CenturyLink is "renting" to me for $10 a month and instead configure the Orbi to be the router. In reading random postings across the internet, it SOU...
I would ask the ISP if they support any kind of stand alone modem only on there ISP services. Modem only with out a router is preferred with using external routers.
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.
