Orbi WiFi System (RBK53) AC3000
i just purchase a Orbi AC3000 with one satelitte and everything is working good beside my Nest outdoor camera. The camera has 2.4ghz and 5ghz but always the ORBI satellite will connect to the camera ...
I have the CBK40 and just one satellite. I get great coverage and range in my 5000sq ft home. Some less out side however I'm not out side alot. However there is coverage and enough signal, outside the home. The Orbi system is meant for mostly in door signal and just some outside. Maybe 10-20 feet depending upon building materials and placement. If you need out side signals then you may need a out door wifi unit.
Also your ISP Modem is a gateway wifi router as well:
Modem Combo Units:
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, LAN to LAN and configure AP mode on the Orbi router.
The provider modem is in bridge mode i always have that in bridge mode,one think i do not understand is when u say ORBI is for indoor only.My quextion is how a router is build just to provide signal inside and not outside the house,what i mean is my dech from my walk out basement here is where i have the Apple tv 4K,my tv and my sound system and the walkout basement is a distance of 3 meters from where is my Apple tv and my deck and not to have no signal just ourside the walkmout basement is very very strange....if tjis think doesn’t work i will return this back....
from my satellite ORBI to my Next camera is 2.5 meters from the window and this is loosing signal because is connecting in 2.4ghz instead of 5ghz as i am sure some interference in 2.4ghz but this ORBI is not doing what is advertised...... this is not good and if this will not work i will need to take this back.....
Possible that you have a bad system too. Might try another system.
Good Luck.
