Netgear AC3200 WiFi cable modem router model C7800
I have a netgear AC3200 WiFi cable modem router model C7800 and Orbi RBK53 router with 2 satellites. I’m trying to create a mesh network (Orbi says it covers 7500 sqft and I need a large area covered)...

What Firmware is currently loaded?
I have my RBK50 setup in AP mode with my C7800 currently.
You can bridge the C7800 as well and use it as a modem only and the use the RBR in router mode. Look for Router mode. Yes or No. Select No for Modem only mode.

Is it not possible to use both of these devices at the same time? Should I return the netgear modem router combo and just get a regular modem?
