RBK40 set-up

I have an ATT modem/router all in one.  Will I have problems setting up the ORBI?

    Hi yvonnelars,

    I am going to move your post to the correct location on the community so you can get better assistance on your question. :]

  • IF you have a modem/router combo, you could use the Orbi, however having two routers on the same network can cause problems.

    Three options:

    1. Bridge the ISP Modem fully and let the Orbi router handle the the router operations instead of the modem combo.

    2. If the modem combo can't be bridge, use the DMZ on the modem combo for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the ISP modem. This will help with problems having two routers on the same network.

    3. You could use the modem/router combo as your main host router and use the Orbi in AP mode. You'll need to disable any wifi on the modem combo unit.
