Thanks for the information.
- I could not find anything regarding the Pace111, but the Cisco VEN501-NA is a wireless router that needs to be bridged in order to avoid double NATing in your network. Wifi should also be disabled in the Cisco router. I guess that this router is not bridged today right?
- If you want to keep the ISP router setup as it's today then you have an option to operate Orbi in AP mode, which should also work for you.
So it's up to you which router you want to select as your main network router, but you need to have only one router to avoid all the headaches that will come from that.
The main Pace router is in the basement, then it is attached to the VEN504-NA, then a cable is connected that goes upstairs to 1st floor, and attaches to the Orbi Router RBR50 (which is next to the television), then i have 4 satellites throughout the house. I have no idea where to edit Daisy Chain, etc... Is it in Orbi? Or the Pace VTEL modem? I am not currently at that location, either.
Modem Router Combo Units:
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. 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 or IP Pass-Through 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. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopYou should try Option #3...

How close to the TV is tehe Orbi router? Too close to the TV can cause problems. 3-6 feet distance between electronic devices is recommended.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
