orbi and fibre broadband

Hi, I've been using my orbi setup for about 18 months now with 'normal' broadband. Today I've just upgraded to fibre broadband and was expecting to be able to just 'plug n play' and orbi would be up ...

Hi FURRYe38, thanks again.
I've just found out this morning (in the UK here) how to turn off the WiFi through the web browser control panel. I'm a bit busy with work at the moment (it always seems to get in the way of playtime), so may not get a chance to try until the weekend.

At least now I have a plan of attack in my head thanks to everyones help.

Much appreciated.

Still no luck I'm afraid. So I'll probably just stick with the Fritz!Box router and get an add on to go with that. Shame.

Have you tried ap mode?
Here's a video walking you through how to place orbi in ap mode.

Yes try AP mode if you can. Disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.
