Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

Hi

I connect the satelites using wired connection (ethernet backhaul connection)
I first sync the system not using the wired connection, as explain on the forums
When the network synced, I see the satelites status OK on the www.orbilogin.com site on Attched Devices page (the site which hosted by the router, in my case on 10.0.0.1 IP address)
After that i disconnect the satelites and connect them using the wired connection on the places i need to cover my home
I connect the first satelite and wait 10 minutes to sync(in the forums i see recomandation to wait 5 minutes between). I been able to browse throw this satelite, but the satelite is not shown as OK on the Attached Devices Page but disconnecetd. The IP and the Connection Type and the Connected Orbi columns are empty
It happened on both of my satelties
I also do not see the devices which are connecetd throw those satelites on the web site
Ideas?
Thx
