ORBI
Hi there gang! I have a quick question I think I have double nat as I have an orbi installed (router mode) behind a comcast gateway that is broadcasting a wifi signal too and is not in bridge mode....
I'm not sure there's a right or wrong answer here - it just depends on which device you want to manage as your router. Keeping the Comcast gateway as a router and putting the Orbi in AP mode is probably the simplest solution, but other way around should also work. Performance-wise, it shouldn't really matter. They give you the flexibility because not all cable modems are the same - many are simply bridge-only, while others (like yours) have router capabilities as well. So the Orbi has modes to work with either type.
thank you!
