Is ORBI RBK50 compatibile to Australia NBN?

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only 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/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through 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

Hi, I've purchased a modem (in Australia) with router and 1 satellite -  

Netgear ORBI RBK50 Tri-Band Wireless-AC3000 System PN RBK50-100AUS from Ebay. Seller says There are many types of NBN. If you have a simple NBN modem box with just one network port to plug into, that should be fine ie FTTP, HFC etc. NOT FTTN. If you have a VDSL FTTN all in one device, it might not accept traffic to be routed via its modem out to the Internet

 

My question:

1. Does Netgear ORBI need to be connected directly to the phone line in the wall (and remove ISP provided NBN modem & router) OR does it have to be connected to the TP LINK NBN modem router (TPG provided-Archer VR1600v)?  

2. Will it work at my house in my current NBN plan? 

 

Look forward to your inputs.
