Orbi and managing wired connections
Hi
I have an Orbi RBK23 with two ports, one is connected to an umanaged Netgear 12 port switch and one goes to the sky hub router. There are two Orbi satellites.
Should I be able to plug into...
I see, I think I have to use my Sky Hub Router for the Sky service seems part of the contract.
If I put the Sky Hub into bridge mode somehow, should I leave ORBI in AP mode as it gives up a lot of features or if the Sky Hub is in bridge mode can I go back to router mode on the ORBI so I can control devices wireless and maybe wired even
Looking online seems Sky make it really difficult to use your own kit and bridge modes, I have a SkyQ system too.
I want to go back to Router mode on the Orbi, everything was working OK except I could not control the wired connections with the ORBI app. However, now I can't get back into the ORBI router to change it back, I've followed various instructions here https://kb.netgear.com/27199/How-to-troubleshoot-routerlogin-net-and-routerlogin-com-access-errors but can't get back in and I am loath to reset as it took me a day to set up all the wireless devices in the house.
