Do you have the manual for your router?
You have two options:
- Keep using the Huawie Echolife router as your main network router and set Orbi in AP mode.
- Use Orbi as the main router but then you need to access the Huawie router and set it to Bridged mode, Passthrough or DMZ forwarding depending on what is avaiable in the Huawie settings, I could not find a decent manual for it.
