Router and Orbi setup
Hi there,
I have purchased a basic modem: http://amzn.eu/d/3OY9rSj and an Orbi RBK50: http://amzn.eu/d/dDnRozS
What is the recommended configuration in regards to using the modem as a mod...
- Oct 20, 2018Thanks, I’ll go for that option if recommended.

Thanks for your reply.
The DM200 will work in both modem only and (by default) modem/router mode.
So original question still stands ...

the DM200 is a modem only. I don't see any information regarding it having a built in router.

At any rate, the DM when used AS a modem, you can use the Orbi in router mode. Which is the perferred method and configuration for the Orbi syetem.
