RBR50 with AT&T Arris BGW210-700 - setup
I would be forever grateful if someone would please give me explicit instructions for setting up my Orbi (RBR50) with my new AT&T fiber router (Arris BGW-210-700) I have been all over trying to find ...
ouple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only 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. <I don't believe this option is supported on your model modem.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode. https://www.att.com/support/smallbusiness/article/smb-internet/KM1188700
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=desktop
Please give option #2 a try.
Thank you for your response. I am still unable to get it to work. Option 2 didn't explain how to do the IP pass through DMZ thingy with the Arris AT&T modem. It only gave instructions for a Motorola or a Pace, so I couldn't do it. Also, option 3 - turning of WiFi radios then configuring AP mode didn't work. I was unable to get back to the orbilogin page after trying it and had to completely reset my Orbi and start all over. PLEASE, PLEASE, I BEG YOU, can you direct me to exact instructions on how to do this. I have tried so very hard and have spent the ENTIRE day trying to figure this out and watching videos and it is 4:45 and I am back to square one. If I had any idea who to call, I would gladly pay someone to come out and fix this for me. I am very frustrated at Netgear for not having specific instructions on how to set this up. AT&T uses zillions of these Arris modems for their fiber connections so someone must be able to explain how to do this.
I recommend that you contact your ISP. They can help you configure there modem for use with the IP Pass-thru feature.
