Vigor 167 and Orbi SK30 Help

I have got an Orbi SK30 that i want to use with a new Vigor 167, and i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as what mode the Vigor needs to be in, guessing modem ? (as the other option is router)

 

Leave the IP address as default 192.168.1.1 

 

Then connect it to the yellow socket in Orbi, set Orbi to my ISP has a username and password and fill in my PPPOE login username and password ? 

 

Does that sounds about right ?

    it should just be with the vigor in modem mode and then filling in your isp stuff on the orbi.

    but if it doesn't work, you could leave the vigor in router mode (disable its wifi) and put the orbi in access point mode.
