Bridge mode and AXmode
Hi everyone, I have the Orbi RBR850 set (2 satellites) My problem is the that my IP standard modem/router uses 192.168.178.x as its ip address base. The Orbi uses 192.168.1.x I have switched wifi...
I decided that getting into DMZ etc was a little above my paygrade 😁
I set the obi to AP mode. This solved my problem. The Orbi is still accssible via the app. and all of my devices are now on one network.
Thanks for the help.

That's the easiest option, especially with Orbi routers. They don't have some of the fancy options of other kit.
Of the options available with two routers, I'd put them in this order of simplicity:
- Bridge mode for the modem router (not possible with some hardware)
- AP mode for the second router (loses some of its features)
- Second router in DMZ zone of first router (too complicated by far)
