Orbi w/ AT&T Fiber

Putting my Orbi in AP (Access Point) mode and turning off the WIFI on the Arris worked a charm. No more problems.
I have att fiber and orbi. It works great but nyou need to get the right gateway. You do not want to use DMZ with this. What you want is IP passthrough. Set it up with this and the orbi works great.
Make sure yo tell thgem this is what you want. Specify a gateway with IP Passthrough. You can request it and they will ship one.
They do have more bthan one model but this arris i have is the latest. At least when i got it the beginning of them year.

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here?If so, 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 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=desktop
