From U-Verse to Vyve - What to do?
After being a U-Verse subscriber for many years, I moved to another house and changed my internet provider to Vyve. With that move, what changes from the Orbi end of things? Previously to run my Or...
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
I have the AX4200 WiFi Mesh System (RBK753) with 2 satellites.
One Eero router was installed to the modem. Assuming Orbi is a better product (and since I already have the router + 2 satellites), I am going to replace the Eero.

… oh and the modem:
Hitron
Model: CODA-45

- How and at what point do I change from an AP to Router?
Most CODA models are gateway modems, thus built in routers:
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=desktop
Try option #2 first...

So when the installer set up the eero, he must’ve set it up as an AP? It was working great … just not reaching all ends of the house. 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What in the world?! The Orbi connects but doesn’t seem to emit wi-fi
