The switch User Manual describes how to find the IP of the switch on page 12:

Because the Orbi is a router, it has created an IP subnet for its Local Area Network (LAN) that is different from the network on the Wide Area Network (WAN) side. I suspect that the modem may be a combination modem/router, which can be verified by checking the WAN IP address using the Orbi web interface, (a) on the Basic Tab, select the "Internet" menu, (b) on the Advanced Tab, it appears in the "Internet Port" box. If it is a Private IP address, then the modem is for certain a modem/router.

If the Orbi is connected to a router, then Port Forwarding cannot be done until one of them is "not a router".
- HarmmieeJan 25, 2021AspirantOke thanks.
How can I turn my modem/router combination just so it will be a modem. Becouse the TV has to be plugged in the modem/router thing.- vajimJan 25, 2021Master

you may have to call the folks who gave you that modem
- HarmmieeJan 25, 2021AspirantAlright, so if I put the orbi in AP mode it will have the same network as the modem?
So then internet and wifi will still be the same network?
