help setting up xfinity gateway and Orbi router in bridge mode
Netgear Orbi whole home tri-band Mesh wifi 6 systems RBK852 AX6000 I have a concrete block (exterior - not interior), one level 2142 sq ft house and the Xfinity 1 gig internet. I bought the Orb...
Sorry i was mistaken the Orbi was put into router mode.
The firm ware on the Orbi was updated today to the current
Model Name Device Name Current Firmware Version Status
| Router | RBR850 | RBR850 | V4.6.14.3 | No New Firmware Available |
| Satellite | RBS850 | Orbi Satellite-1 | V4.6.14.3 |
Does the order matter when changing the setting on the Gateway and Orbi. I changed the Orbi to router then changed the gateway to bridge?
Your # 2 option scares me I'm not that technical sorry : (
Ok. there is newer FW however lets skip that for now.
As long as the Orbi system is in router mode, you can change the gateway to bridge mode. Follow ISP instructions for that. A power cycle of the RBR off for 30 seconds then back ON while the gateway processes the change maybe in order as well. Should be able to log in to the RBRs web page and check Internet status. I'd give it about 3-4 minutes. Front LED will blink WHITE, then maybe PINK, then turn OFF indicating a good connection to the internet.
