Possible set up RBK23 with Ethernet backhaul
Hello Everyone,
So I'm looking to buy this Package from Amazon. The RBK23.
https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Orbi-Ultra-Performance-Whole-System/dp/B07CQDHPFT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1548227...
- The setup you suggested will only work if Orbi is set in AP Mode and the ISP Modem is a router (not just a mide), providing DHCP functionality to all Orbi nodes and clients.
- If the ISP modem is a modem then -usually- it will only provide you with one public IP address so you will not be able to connect two nodes to it, unless it's a router, but then you can't have Orbi as router.
Can you have the solution as follows istead and keep Orbi in Router Mode?
You can also connect the Satellite directly to the Router if you don't want to use the switch!
