Orbi and vertical signal
I just installed an RBR50 router and satellite to replace the Pace 5268AC AT&T fiber modem. Both router and satellite are on my main floor, and they seem to be doing very well on that floor. But they...
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
The ISP modems Wifi maybe interferring.
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.
