Question about Orbi and Xfinity
I've ordered an Orbi Mesh system and will be setting it up with an Xfinity XB6 gigabit connection. I understand that I'll need to put the XB6 in Bridge Mode. I came across this article in the Xfinity...
I guess I'm curious why?
if you're planning on using xFi and its features, you could just put the orbi in AP mode. You'd lose some of the features of Orbi but you'd still get the wifi coverage and the xFi would keep its routing setup.
If you want to use the Orbi's features, then why would you want the xFi features?
That's a good question. The primary reason I want the Orbi Mesh system is for better/faster WiFi. I had read on a couple other forums that some people prefer the feature set of xFi to the Orbi app features, so I was just wondering if it's still possible to use xFi.
It could turn out that I'm completely fine with Orbi's features.
