Orbi and Arris touchstone TG2472 (Cox )

I can confirm that Orbi worked seamlessly with my Cox cable/wifi/telephone modem! I did shut down the wireless capability in the Arris prior to the Orbi setup! Orbi did improve the speed and connection reliability so far being 10 hrs into the Orbi/Satellite setup.

    Hello jjon90

     

    Great to hear let us know if you need help or run into any issues.

  • How did you set it up? That gateway is not capable of being bridged because it has phone service attached to it. You should still disable the wireless on the gateway if you don't mean to use it. It will only mess with the Orbi wireless.

      I did not set the Orbi up in bridged mode.

        Then you have double NAT. Hopefully you don't game or do any advanced networking.
