Orbi and Xfinity Home Security

Per Orbi instructions I set my Xfinity router to Bridge Mode and Orbi works great, but unfortunately the touchscreen for my Xfinity Home Security no longer has internet and thus cannot be set using my phone.  Xfinity support has told me that the router cannot be in Bridge Mode for the touchscreen to work, so I need help with how I should set my Orbi.  Will Orbi still work if the router is not in Bridge Mode?  Should I set Orbi to AP mode?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Let your router act as a router (just turn off its wireless if it has it) and put the Orbi in AP mode.
