Orbi and Fixed Wireless Broadband

Orbi should work for you in AP mode.  It might not work for you in router mode, because wireless ISPs often use their own special routers.

Hi, Pete...
Nope, this is going to be in the mountains of Colorado, USA. Peak Internet will be the provider and the service is called Fixed Wireless Broadband. There's an antenna on the roof that receives a line-of-sight radio signal containing the internety stuff. I havent moved in yet. The house is about 2200 square feet (204.39 sq meters) with a main floor and walkout basement.

lol fair enough as fixed wireless is what they call it here in oz and sounds about the same concept

the antenna should drop down to a connection box normally called an NTD , this is not usually a modem or router and gives you an ethernet point to connect to

so if thats the case as i said any wireless router will work , you may need to check with the isp as to how the connection is made ether by ipoe or pppoe etc not sure on those specifics

if the above is the case you wouldnt run the orbi in AP mode as you wouldnt have a router involved , in this case you would run the orbi in router mode

------------------

if however the isp has supplied some device that is the router and has to be used only then would you run the orbi in ap mode behind that router

p.s

at 2200sqft you def wont need the rbk50 , the rbk40 pack should do you fine and save you money

if you want post a link to your isp and the fixed wireless plan and details , will help to see if the setup is the same as ours
