Wmware not working on bribge mode.

I'm sorry if that stupit question.
I'm new in netgear products. I just swap from Asus read many reviews that orbi system is best.
I setup yesterday night. Not sure if was easy but is done.
Problem is I use wmware with ubuntu server (nextcloud) on bridge mode network
Unfortunetly that didn't work on orbi system. Try reads manual Internet etc no where is solution.
Did have someone same problem or know how to fix this.

    What's that? What is in bridge mode? And what sort of bridge mode? (That label gets attached to a lot of things.)

    What are you doing and where does it go wrong?

     

    What else is on your network? The modem?

    Bridge mode is transparent if you use an external dedicated IP for your VM, otherwise use NAT with port forwarding if you run a server in your VM. Just ensure you set 10.0.0.2 as your gateway inside the VM for NAT.

     

    I run a website forum on my notebook > Debian VM > NAT > Windows Host > Orbi > Vofadone Router .. and it works great !
