Regarding # 2
I think that is what i'm trying to do?
on the Bell router/modem i disabled all wifi radios. I turned on DMZ (not sure what exposed host is) I added the MAC address of the orbi router to the active device. Turned off DNLP and UPnP. Connect orbi to Bell
Is that all i do on Bell router/modem? what should show in DHCP of Bell router/modem?
I'm not clear what to do on Orbi side? Do i change the router IP address to 192.168.2.2 (since Bell is 192.168.2.1) do i need to change IP from dynamic from ISP or something else? or is that it? then what reboot both? I've tried all this and not working

Set orbi side to 192.168.1.1
Should be nothing else do to on the modem or Orbi side/
Might power OFF the modem and RBR for 30 seconds then back ON with the modem first then RBR. Top ring should turn OFF after 5 minutes or so, indicating the RBR has a connection to the modem.
