Orbi RBK23

Hi I’ve just bought a orbi RBK23 system
I was just wondering when I set it up if I connect to my existing router from my Internet provider or do I unplug it and just connect the orbi

    The RBK23 is a router, therefore you don't 'need' another router. You can run 2 routers, but it requires special config and IMHO is not recommended.

     

     

    You will need a modem

      Thanks
      Looking forward to setting it up this weekend
      I just hope it is as good as they say it is and improves my WiFi range
