R7000 Nighthawk and ORBI AC220 not playing well together
Howdy Folks
Purchased an ORBI for better WiFi coverage and Parental control, compatibility told me that it would work better with a Netgear Router, so I bought a Nighthawk R7000, my issues are around ...

I think that you have double NAT issue.
Please make sure the Nighthauk is set in Bridged mode.
Page 114 in the R7000 manual describes how you can do this.
You should be fine after you bridge the R7000.
Good luck

Really apreciate the responses, thanks so much, but I really think ive made poor choice in netgear products, everything is clunky and not user friendly at all, have tried to run through whats suggested, but keep coming up against issues everytime I try something else, currently stalled because the router is asking me for my serial number, and the ok box stays grey and cant be selected, I cant change the settings because it wont let me access it, even after shutting the router down and resetting it, this is quite frustrating
