Orbi as a Wired Access Point
OK i've read the options but it is not clear if Orbi can be installed as a Wired Access Point. In other words, in an existing network, off another router. Not looking for the router funtionality, sin...
It should work connecting an Ethernet cord from your existing router to the LAN port of Orbi will allow you to have ORBI function as an access point. But you may check this link for further guide: https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point
Yes the settings are really easy in the Orbi to make it a AP only. If you like the controls the current router gives you but the wifi leaves many gaps or causes issues the Orbi works great. I have swapped between using my Uverse RG as the router and the Orbi as AP for the last week back to using the Orbi as the Router and AP. It all depends on what you are looking for in the types of access control etc.
