Orbi RBR40 and FIOS Question
I set up the Orbi with my Verizon network per the instructions on this forum (i.e., I turned off the Verizon Fios wireless network and then set up the Orbi router in AP mode.) I have internet, TV an...
No, should be ok to get to AP mode.
Have you tried using the DMZ on the FIOS router for yoru Orbi router in router mode? This works for this kind of configuration as well.

So I followed all the steps to setup the RBR50 and satellite to work in conjunction with my FiOS Quantum Gateway G-1100 Router. I turned off wi-fi for the G-1100, but in checking settings for the ORBI, it was still in Router Mode, not AP Mode. So... if I go ahead and change from Router Mode to AP Mode, am I going to screw something up... like not receiving FiOS television any longer? (See attached PNG file.) Thanks for responding.
Thank you. No idea what DMZ is so will accept that I've changed to AP mode and things appear to be working just fine. :smileyhappy:
When you have two routers on the same network, the 1st one can support DMZ option so that the 2nd router isn't impacted by any NAT from the 1st router.

If your seem to experience connection problems with applications or gaming, you can try this at that point.
Good Luck.
