AX4200 and RBR20

We currently have an RBR20 with all our devices on it. We want to add a AX4200 and run both. The RBR for our lights, appliances, etc and computers phones on the AX4200.
Everything I read said this would work. But I may not have read enough. After setting up the AX4200 (with the RBR off) and then turning on the RBR we don’t have Internet connectivity. We connect to the RBR but doesn’t work. Would love some help.
So we want to run 2 separate orbi routers (networks), 1 dedicated to household and the other to personal devices.
Any help?

    1. AX4200 is a speed. What actual model did you buy?

    2. one of the devices need to be in access point mode. If you're going:

    modem---->router----->router

    then the 2nd router needs to be in access point mode to prevent a double nat.
