Orbi w/ AT&T Fiber
I am looking to switch to AT&T fiber. I currently have xfinity internet for which I use my orbi system. AT&T representative said there would be no benefit to using the orbi with their fiber. Is that c...
Putting my Orbi in AP (Access Point) mode and turning off the WIFI on the Arris worked a charm. No more problems.
Might review this thread and see while your using the PACE modem/router to see if this help with any current external routers you might have, if it does, then this would work for the Orbi as well. Or use the Orbi in AP modem with the PACE modem in router mode.
Seems to have help others on that thread...

Thanks for the quick respons , however, the Pace 5268AC router has no "pass through" option. It is widely documented on the web. There are some people who have gotten it to work in a partial pass through with other mesh systems, but I have been unable to get it to work with TP-Link Deco and 3 other single unit routers.
FURRYe38 Thanks, however, this part of the instructions:
Open a browser and go to: http://192.168.1.254
Go to Settings -> LAN -> LAN IP Address Allocation
Scroll down and locate your router in the list of devices on this screen. It (and all the other devices) will have an IP Address in the 192.168.1.xxx range.
Change the following 2 settings:
Firewall: Enabled -> Disabled, and
Address Assign: Private from pool: 192.168.1.0 -> Public(select Wan IP mapping)
Save and reboot everything.
Is no longer valid. They must have changed the firmware; the Pace 5268 does not show up in that list of devices at all. At the bottom of the post, it says "I believe this gives the same result as setting "DMZPlus mode"". 'DMZ Plus' is simply no IP Passthrough. It is a poor choice of name, because it doesn't actually put anything on your network in a DMZ. In short, doesn't work.
I believe they are referring to the external connected router, not the Pace in the list. There trying to set up an IP address for the external route on the PACE first.
Well, was a thought. This is something you need to get cleared up with your ISP, if you can get a new modem with IP Pass Thru support or get into a stand alone modem only would be more preferred.
Then once you get this all figured out, a new MESH system should work well. Hopefully. :smileywink:

Sorry my bad. Your are correct...however, a couple of things:
1. I did the equivalent of that with an Airport Extreme and the TP-Link Deco. The AE worked for a few days and then we started having wierd problems. Once I went back to the Pace and put the AE in bridge mode everything worked fine. The TP-Link Deco never worked. It would not connect to the Internet.
2. I just tried to find a router that I have downstream with a single security camera attached, it doesn't even show up on that page of the Pace utility UI (I confirmed I can connect to the 2nd router directly through it's management page).
3. This can't possibly work correctly because you have to "DMZ Plus" to a local IP. But a router is expecting a WAN/Internet IP, so I am not even sure how this would be an option...
