Will orbi work with all in one modem/router
I have a Netgear router/modem AC1900 all in one. Will Orbi work just as well? Looking at the AC2200 tri-band.
Any progress on this?

- Made it work. Made the modem/router into just a modem. But now I have an issue we’re i don’t see my hardwire devices. When I plug a hardwire it doesn’t see because the IP address is locked to the modem/router. Can I reset the modem/router so that It can release the IP address on the devices? And then make the modem/router in to just a modem once again.
If you bridge the modem/router, then the IP address from the ISP will pass thru to the Orbi. Connect the Orbi system to the modem and then connect all other devices to the Orbi system. The Orbi becomes your main host router and wifi source.

And then make the modem/router in to just a modem once again.- I didn’t bridge the modem/router combo. I did turned of all the WiFi signals on it. So the modem/router is acting as a modem only. I am using the ports on the combo, is that why I can’t see them? I also have a switch from the combo which I can’t see those hardwire connections. All I have to do is use the orbi ports only? Is there a way I can still keep the ports on the combo and see them hardwire on my network?
