MR100 won’t connect to my Orbi
I followed the directions for putting my MR1100 into bridge mode (select ip pass through, deselect dynamic ip, and turn off Ethernet timeout) and everything saved. When I hooked it to the Ethernet port on my orbi router there was no internet service from the orbi. Is there something else that has to be done? The mr1100is not strong enough to cover my large house so I need to get this to work. Any help is appreciated. John
Super! Glad you got things working.

I have a similar setup except that I connect my MR1100 to an ASUS router and my Deco mesh is connected to the ASUS router. I have bridging set to passthrough but left DHCP and timeout alone. Not sure why the timeout isn't a problem but it works and I'm not changing it. Maybe this info will get you pointed in the right direction. Note that my MR1100 is an AT&T branded unit.
- Thanks. I’ll try that!
- I tried your suggestion but it did not help. Still can’t get the mr1100 to pass through data to the internet connection on my orbi. The mr1100 just doesn’t have the Wi-Fi coverage for my large house. Need to be able to port to my orbi. Any one else getting this to work??
Thanks,
John
