setup ORBI without Internet connection

I would like to have all my devices connected through ORBI in a LAN configuration. At this time I do not have Internet connection.

 

Can I setup ORBI RBK53 without Internet?

        In my experience, for the app to work it needs internet connection. The Orbi can function without internet. You need to use a computer to manage it.
