Hey, I got it working with the 3rd solution you provided, but I was trying the second solution, in order not to lose the router capabilities:
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.
I've done this, but my steam link still doesn't find my desktop.
I've attached a sceenshop of the DMZ config.
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. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

The Steam link can't find my desktop computer that's connected directly to my ISP router.
Is there anyway to solve this?

Good to hear. Glad you got it work.
Possible that the ISP modems DMZ may not be fully giving pass thru traffice and inhibiting some thing. DMZ can vary from modem Mfr to Mfr.
Besure to mark your post as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
