how set up orbi rbk763 connect direct to nbn FTTC TPC provider
Hi. I am with TPG using NBN FTTC. The provider supplied NBN box with modem TP LINK ARCHER 1600. I would like to connect my new mesh wifi orbi rbk763 direct to NBN box without using TP LINK ARHER1600 ...
Can you please look on the product label for the exact model number of the Archer?
What does the ISP say about not using the Archer?
This document appears to indicate that the Orbi router would be a direct substitute for the TP-Link router that was delivered:

Does your installation have an NBN Connection Box similar to the one in that document?
- Attached the set up nbn ftrc guide provided by Tpg
https://community.tpg.com.au/t5/Broadband-Internet/NBN-Fibre-to-the-Curb-FTTC-Setup-Guide/td-p/101369The important consideration is whether TPG is providing telephone service.
The Archer VR1600v provides a telephone jack so that house telephones can be connected to the network.
If you purchase telephone service from TPG, then the Archer VR1600v is required.
If they are not providing telephone service, then the Orbi can be plugged into the modem in place of the Archer.
- Thanks. Yes tpg provided phone service but I did received lot of scam phone, I disconnected phone over 10 years. As your advice I can plug direct orbi to nbn box?
