Viens de brancher mon orbi 6 sur ma Freebox delta tout fonctionne mais je ne trouve pas le debit internet tres fort .... dois je désactiver le wifi de ma free box ?
en anglais s'il vous plaît
Sorry and thanks for helping !
simple question for which i see different answers on the web
after having connected my orbi 6 device to my box ( free) , should i disconnect the original wifi from the box or no need ?
my operator says no need but isn't better to have netgear orbi manage the only wifi ?????
thanks a lot

"my operator says no need but isn't better to have netgear orbi manage the only wifi ?????" Yes.
If your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopThank you so much !!!!!!
