Why would someone want to use AP mode vs Router Mode?
i am trying to learn more about my router and satellite. I have RBR20 router and one RBS20 satelline. I am reading about router and AP modes but do not understand why we would need to change from r...
I need to use AP Mode. I have a fiber connection and my ISP requires me to use their network box (essentially an all-in-one modem that can serve as a router and even broadcast WiFi). However, the network box's WiFi is not the strongest, so I purchased the Orbi system to work in conjunction with it.
I allow the network box to serve as my router (essentially the brains of my network, providing IP addresses and serving as a basic firewall). My Orbi simply broadcasts WiFi and allows devices to connect to the network.
Does that clarify?
