Hi
Thx
I disable the Daisy Chain, but still i do not see the devices as connected
I double check that this setting is turned off after the system has been reset (this change required system reset)
My Home is wired using Netger GS 608 1Giga switches (4 speard is misc places at home). I have several devices connected wired at home (PC's, TV's Streamers, printer and more)
The IP range was set automaticly to 10.0.0.x when i start the setup process
I believe you are in a double NAT condition with a router somewhere behind the Orbi.
Are you able to describe precisely by make/model what is upstream of the Orbi (e.g. cable modem, switch, etc) and what is above that?
Solution is there to get this working properly, but you will probably have options to decide
Hi
Attached my home network diagramGreat diagram (except for the watermarks! LOL).
Ok, the TP 600... I think that is actually a router and not a cable modem. Does it look like this?

It would HAVE to have routing functions since you have computers attached to the netgear GS 608... where would they get their I addresses from? That would have to be a router with DHCP functionality.
I would put the Orbi between the cable modem and the Netgear switch in router mode, and -- if necessary -- bridge the TP LINK
So that VR600 is indeed a modem/router combination.
If you want to use your ORBI in router mode, you will have to put the RBK23 router between the VR600 and the Netgear Switch. (Using the appropriate in and out ports)
You will have to also Bridge your TP VR600 which is described in detail here

This would make the Orbi handle all routing functionality and wireless connections and the VR600 would only operate as a modem.
You need to decide if this is what you want before doing anything else.
