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 : (
I truly appreciate your help and please let me know if the sequence matters that may have been a problem.
I am not sure how to disable the Wi-Fi radios and where to configure the modem's DMZ for the IP address.
I looked through both basic and advanced categories but did not find where I could modify.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, Keep the modem in router mode, 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.
You'll need to ask or check in with the ISP support and have them help you with the modems WiFi Settings there. I presume there is a web page there what needs to be looked at and checked on if you want to try the modem in router mode and disable the wifi radios then use the DMZ for the Orbi router in router mode. However if you bridge the modem, this already disable all wifi radios and the router with in while in bridge mode.
