If you have access to the ISP Modems web page, make the change there first, then connect a wired PC to the RBR and configure the RBR for router mode, apply all settings. A power cycle of the ISP modem and RBR maybe needed as well after the re-config.
Thanks for confirming. i assume leave all connections as is, or should is disconnect the Orbi from the gateway when performing the change to bridge mode?
You can leave them all connected. Be sure you are using the WAN port on the RBR to connect to the ISP modem.
- My ISP gateway is in bridge mode, if I hard wire into the orbi it does pass a connection to the internet but I can not log into the Orbi to change it from Access point to Router mode. Any suggestions? Orbilogin .com and .net don’t connect.
