Problem setting up Orbi RBK50 from Virgin media hub 3 (Modem mode)
Am having problems setting Orbi from a Virgin Hub 3 as modem, is this the problem because the orbi router is in AP mode because i was using it as AP from the prevoius set up. Do i need to switch it ...

Glad you got it all working.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

I think the house is around 1600 sq feet. Then the garden is huge ( not sure about dimensions, we just moved in!)
And the satellite Is placed upstairs but not immediately above router. I am not sure if that's over 30 feet. Do you reckon the coverage is still amplified thanks to the 2 devices or the main router alone could do the job?

You'll have to test to see what areas are good and what areas you may need some wireless help. Possible that 1 more RBS maybe needed.
