RBK22 Existing Modem/Router, Switches etc
Hello, I just purchased the RBK22 from Costco. Everything is hooked up and running after reading through a few posts on here but I have questions. Current Configuration: Netgear c7000v2 (modem/rou...
Yes, thats the setting. Changed to NO and this puts the modem in to modem only mode. Then use the RBR in router mode.
To access the modems web page, you'll need to access it via 192.168.100.1 I believe when it's in modem only mode. Since the router portion is disabled, the 192.168.0.1 no longer works.
Did you but the C series modem in to full bridge mode, disable NAT on the modem? This should make the modem just modem only, then connect your RBR to the modem and configure ROUTER Mode on the RBR. The Orbi app should detect the RBR system...

I've had my c7000v2 for a couple of years now and I've never really had any issues except the WiFi coverage downstairs is mediocre so I've been doing research on the Orbi and Nest WiFi. I was in Costco yesterday and they had the RBK22 (2 pack) for $99! I didn't think twice about purchasing it. My network is used for multiple gaming PC's and a lot of smart home devices such as lights, cameras, alarm, google home mini's, Firestick's etc.. so WiFi coverage is important.
Tomorrow my 8-port Netgear switch will be here and I'm going to attempt the configuration I mentioned in the first post and see how it goes.
Thank you both for taking the time to reply back to me!
There is a setting: Router Mode (yes or no), by selecting no, this enabled modem only mode and I enabled router mode on the Orbi. I don't touch any of the NAT settings and everything seems to be up and running. All of my devices are connected wired and wirelessly and the Orbi app is functioning as it should.
The only issue I've run into is, I don't know how to access the modem settings on the c7000v2 now since the IP address has changed.
