Hi all,
I am looking to replace my ISP-supplied router with an Orbi mesh system and I’ve tried looking everywhere for info on this but have turned up nothing but dead ends (this includes their user manual). The system the ISP sent has a modem separate from the router. My ISP requires DHCP option 60 (vendor class identifier) and on Netgear’s support page on this it lists many of their products but not specifically the RBR760. The page was last updated a while ago and doesn’t include any of their newer models. So either they removed this option or didn’t update their support page.
Basically I would like to know if this is possible before I splash out on a mesh system?
Thank you for for your help!
Even if the Orbi does not support this specific DHCP option thing, I guess you can set your Orbi to Access Point mode and still use your current modem and router. The Orbi would provide mesh wireless coverage but still rely upon your vendor's router for DHCP and routing.
