Orbi RBK-50 and Viasat RG110N-030 Satellite Internet Modem
Im in a Rural Area where the only option for Internet is a Satellite service like Excede.

What FW is currently loaded?
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.
Your best options would be 2 or 3...
Furrye38,
I dont have the equipment in front of me at this time. Its at my remote property 3 hours away from me. I'll look this weekend at the FW.
I have Disabled the WIFI or "Put in Bridge Mode" and only used the Orbi WIFI, but after about 15 Minutes, IP addresses went corrupt and Modem needed a Factory reset to gain access. Before going corrupt, I did have internet access on phone even though Orbi said no internet but Cell WIFI did not work. So that was kind of weird. I will experiment with Options 2 and 3 this weekend. Should I be using a Crossover cable or regular? Thank You for your input.
Regualar LAN cable. No Crossover.

- Ok, my thinking was wrong on the Bridge mode and that was disabling the WIFI. You have to go to each 2.4 and 5 GHZ modes and disable the radios in the advanced settings. Here's a link to help with that. https://help.viasat.com/articles/General/How-to-disable-the-router-signal-on-the-WiFi-Modem I can now plug in the Orbi and not corrupt my IP addresses. Logging into the Modem, I can see the Orbi. Logging into the Orbi, I can see the modem. Still don't have internet on the Orbi. Frustrating!!!
