RBK50 with FiOS, stopped working
Installed Orbi mesh system. Everything installed and was working great. Not sure it matters, but installed orbo firmware update. After that everything went south. Normal web browsing works fine,...
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=desktopI would recommend Option #3...

I don't need the extender, is that what you mean by "downstream router". Perfectly happy if it's just the Verizon router and the Orbi.

Think I'm good. Went to orbilogin and, well, logged in. First thing it did was say something like 'IP address conflict noted, IP address changed to...' forget exactly what it said. Went to do set it to AP mode. It seemed to boot me out of the menu, but when I went back it was in AP mode.
I did the other check and got this, hoping this is good.
1 4 ms 4 ms 2 ms 192.168.1.1
2 28 ms 14 ms 40 ms google-public-dns-a.google.com [8.8.8.8]Looks like you are in good shape. Does everything appear to be working properly?
If so, please click accept solution to close this thread.
Your FIOS probably had a router built in and using same 192.168.1.1 address as the Orbi does. This would cause a conflict. Glad you got it working in AP mode. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know for future reference.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
