Orbi bricked after factory reset

I have an RBR50 plus two RBS50 satellites.  I have a router provided by my ISP (its an Adtran model) which is cannot be put into Bridge mode.  So this means I need to have the Orbi as an access point...

    I may have got it working...

     

    I saw another post on here that said to tell the Orbi to use a fixed IP from your router when in access point mode, even though Netgear warns you not to.  Also set the DNS servers to be public IPs, I used Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

     

    Then power cycled the Orbi router and ISP router and it has started to work.

Factory reset and access the RBRs web page at 192.168.1.1 using a wired PC or laptop and web browser. 

 

If your ISP modem can't be bridged and it has a built in router, can configure the modems DMZ for use with the RBR and then leave the RBR in router mode.
