Orbi
Hi I'm looking at the netgear orbi system but wanted to check something. I've got fttp internet with bt so have an open reach modem which then plugs into a homehub router for the wired and WiFi connections. Does the orbi replace the homehub so that I can get rid of it out of the setup? Thanks Phil

Yes the Orib can replace the Home Hub router and it would be preferred.
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, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.
