Orbi set up with DSL Model
Hi, I have just replaced my old Apple Airprt wth a new Orbi - I use a Netgear DM200 model to connect to the broadband. I have given the Dm200 a static IP aaddress and use the Orbi to manage...
The dm200 has an integrated router. Did you switch it to modem only mode? Or the orbi to access point mode? otherwise you're in a double nat.

This is important. By default the DM200 arrives with the router bit switched on.
Don't mess around with IP addresses and DHCP. The easiest thing to do is to put the DM200 into modem only mode. The Quick Start guide is all you need to read.
Then just use the Orbi as designed, in router mode.
Before you get too far, ensure that you update the firmware for the DM200. It is a bit fiddly to get into the thing when it is in modem mode.
