Modem suggestion for Orbi RBK50
Hi, I am going to buy the Orbi RBK50 and need a Modem suggestion. I will be on ADSL2+ with max download of 24mbps with TPG in Australia. I was thinking the Netgear DM200 as a modem. I will be moving ...
I would contact the ISP your going to have service with to make sure what they support is available to you.
Make sure you try and get a modem that doesn't have a built in router if at all possible. The Orbi is a router already so no need for an additional one.
Regarding Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode.
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, LAN to LAN and configure AP mode on the Orbi router.
Thanks for the reply. I've tried that but they aren't that helpful.
