ok, so to help me better understand your recommendation:
- set a a new IP address from 192.168.0.1 to a new IP address ... 192.168.0.40 on the CBR - this is in the admin page for the ORBI? Yes. Just make sure the IP address string is same as what the host router is using. The 1st 3 sets of numbers have to match a what the host router is using.
- Disabled the DHCP server on the CBR - also in the Orbi admin page. Yes.
- and applied the change -- just means reboot the Orbi. The CBR will reboot itself. While the CBR reboots, connect it to the host router here.
- My main host routers IP address pool is 192.168.0.100 to .150 - this is the default setting of the modem? This is good. No
- And then I'm just connecting an ethernet cable from the cable modem to one of the ethernet portals on the Orbi. Everything else (besides updating the Orbi's IP address) will basically happen automatically? Correct There's not DHCP or other setting that needs or should be disabled, adjusted, or reset? No.
I've already scoped out an Arris s33 modem I can pick up today at the local Best Buy. And tbh I may still just say f*** it and get the AX3000 system 3 pack, too. But thank you for your time and quick responses. Have a great holiday!
Merry Christmas
