Orbi and CUJO working together
So I have an Orbi system (2 Sat) and I have a CUJO firewall. I wanted to share with everyone a way to get this working!!! It's quite a pain, but after spending 5 hours on the phone with CUJO support ...

I have a wireless connection to my ISP. It enters the house via a Cat 5 cable from the dish on the roof. It connects to a PoE devise and another cable goes to the Internet port on my Linksys EA 6350. This allows me to get Internet, wifi, and sharing on my home network. I recently purchased a CUJO firewall appliance and a Orbi with 1 satellite in order to improve my wifi coverage. I have spent hours trying to add the Orbi and the CUJO to my existing system but have gotten lost and frustrated to the point of putting back to the way it was setup prior to trying to add the Obri And CUJO. I have both cable and wifi and would like to continue to use both platforms. I am new to doing all these connections and configuring of componets but would very much like some help with this matter.
Thanks

Hello -
I have the exact same ISP configuration that you describe -- a 'fixed wireless' ISP via a dish on the roof, entering the home via an ethernet cable with a PoE. I installed an Orbi RBK50 router with a single RBS50 satellite with no problems, and it works as advertised in terms of WiFi coverage in the home. So, I don't think your challenge is the installation of the Orbi system by just plugging it in to the ISP cable as your Internet source.
I have just run across the CUJO device in doing some reading on the web and am considering adding it to my network. However, it seems to require a lot of 'work-arounds' with the Orbi system, which I really don't want to do for various reasons. Did you proceed with your CUJO/Orbi installation? If so, did you use a bridge configuration with the CUJO? Or?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
