Looking for buy Netear Orbi RBK50 - few questions

Well you could use the cable going back to the cable modem. 

Ya, let it run for a while and see how it works.

BTW, what is the Mfr and model # of the isp modem? I presume a modem only and not a modem router combo?

Leave have you have loaded on the system. It's not always recommended to immediately update FW. Run the system and see how it works for you. Let us know if you find any problems before trying to update FW. Not all issues can be correctled by FW updates and can made the problems worse. 

 

You can use a switch behing the Orbi router for additional LAN ports. I have a 24port switch connected behind mine.

Thanks.  Unfortunately I don't have the option of adding a switch behind my Orbi router since most of my hard wire homeruns are in the basement which is where my HP switch at the moment.  I do however have a wire from the basement back up to my cable/modem, Orbi location so all is well. 

Been a few hours and all is well so far.  Will begin the AP process shortly and then begin to dismantle my old WiFi, AP setups
