Nighthawk Ac1900 and Orbi
I have installed an Orbi router and satellite with a Nighthawk aC1900 cable modem router. I want to turn the radios off the Nighthawk to avoid interference with the Orbi but I cannot access the Night...
Just turning the WiFi radio off should not change the Orbi gateway. Putting the Nighthawk into "bridge" or "passthrough" mode would.
Is the "new" gateway a "public" IP address? (i.e. is does not start with 192.168, 10.10, or 172.16)
The new gateway is 73.xxx.xxx.x
All I did was turn the radio button to off. It went into a reboot and I stepped away. Here we are. Thanks for your help!
It is now the same IP address as the Orbi..... no more 192.xxxx
and my download speed went from 202 to 17. Upload about the same

The Internet address of the Orbi is no longer 73.....?
Can you please identify which of these is your Nighthawk cable modem router?
