Set Orbi as a bridge instead of an access point
Hi everyone, I'm new on here so I hope I've posted this correctly. I currently have a ASUS router (thinking of changing this to a Nighthawk) but I wanted to get an Orbi to ack as a wireless bridg...
No, its not possible with current firmware to set Orbi to a canned Bridge Mode.
So what you want to do is have the Orbi Router connected to your Asus/Nighthawk router via ethernet cable, have its Wifi (to clients turned off) and only have its backhaul WiFi running to the satellite(s) turned on (maybe some wired clients if necessary)? And also have the satellite(s) do the same, with Wifi to clients turned off and just wired clients communicating back to your Asus/Nighthawk router?
