Moving from VM Busines to Vodafone

I'm in the process of switching from Virginmedia Business braodband to Vodafone Residential 910Mbps.

I had the VM router in modem only mode and used my RBR50 as router with 3 RBS50 satellites which nicely covered the entire property.

The Vodafone router seems not to have a modem only mode and I want to keep my mesh network as their Wifi doesn't completely cover the house.

Is it possible to connect the RBR50 to the Vodafone router (after turning off DHCP and WiFi on the Vodafone) and still use it as a router, this keeping my mesh network?

Try using the DMZ on the Vodafone router for the RBR50 thats in router mode, or configure the RBR 50 for AP mode. Disable the Vodafone routers wifi radios.

  I'll try it in AP mode (seems to be the easisest option).
  Thanks
