Orbi with Spectrum Modem/Router
Spectrum installed my internet and they use a 2 in 1 cable modem/router. How do i set it up for my orbi to work?
If i run spectrum as a bridge mode. Does that affect the modem part? I only have 1 box functioning both as the modem and router
No. The purpose of bridged mode is to disable the router while leaving the modem enabled.
I dont know know if the Spectrum box includes bridged mode though. You'll need to determine that via Google or by contacting your ISP.
I too am a Spectrum customer and was provided with an Arris TG1672G modem (internet, cable, telephone) when I subscribed. I am running the modem in bridge mode and using the Orbi as my router (that is, the Orbi is not in AP mode). I'm not sure which modem you're using but I have been fortunate enough to avoid many of the problems that others in this forum have faced. Good luck.
