Orbi RBR50 installation problem

A stand alone modem would be preferred if your going to use the Orbi system. No need for another router with the modem since the Orbi would be doing same thing.

Hi,

 

I purchased this Orbi, recommended by a friend, to help with current slow internet.

 

I currently have a modem that I lease from Centurylink - which is my provider.

 

I was told I could replace this router with the Orby router, but when I tried to install it, it tells me to connect it to my current modem., which I did. However, now nothing works.

My question: can the Orbi router replace the current modem and be a stand-alone or do I need a modem in addition?

 

I am a layman and need help desperately. Anybody please?

 

Thank you inadvance.

Helena
