Orbi WiFi System

Hi guys. I'm thinking of buying an orbi wifi system. Can I use it with the Technicolor TG784n v3 Gateway installed by my Internet provider? I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks.

Hello Leumam

 

Yes you can either bridge the gateway to be a modem only or you can run Orbi as a Access point.

Hi Darren. Thanks for the reply.

 

What´s the difference between the two?

 

Should I turn off the wifi on the technicolor gateway?

 

Thanks.

    Hello Leimam

     

    That would be the best option is to make the Technicolor in modem only mode.
