RBR50v.2 Using with a Cox Panoramic WiFi cable modem
We just purchased an Orbi RBR50v2 system and I have a question regarding using this with our Cox Panoramic WiFi modem. Can the network name and password set in the Cox box but used in the Orbi system...

Hello musicman8120 ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand you would like to use your RBR50v2 Orbi Mesh System to increase the wireless range of your existing network. To extend your wireless network using the RBR50v2, it is recommended that the wireless networks on your ISP modem be disabled and the Orbi router be put in AP mode. Once the SSID on your ISP is disabled, you can use the same SSID and passphrase credentials for your RBR50v2. This configuration has been proven to be the most compatible for users that would like to integrate an Orbi Mesh System into their existing network.
Please be sure to visit the following link for placement recommendations for your Orbi Mesh System:
