My current Linksys Velop primary node connects directly to the FIOS optical network terminal output via ethernet without a FIOS router in the loop. Can I use the rbk753s ax4200 w/o a FIOS Router? Costco link indicates "(rbk753s) Requires a modem." by 'modem' I assume they mean 'router'. TIA
No. Modem means Modem. Orbi AX requires a interface device to connect to ISP services. These are Modems or ONTs or Gateway modems which these are modems with built in routers.
Orbi should connect right up to what you have currently. I would power OFF the modem/ONT for 1 minute prior to connecting the RBR. Then connectup the RBR, power ON the modem/ONT then power ON the RBR and the walk thru the setup wizard on the RBR with a web browser.
