How to connect my RBR850 to my KPN network (NL)?

The first step is to connect the RBR850 WAN port to the KPN device. This should provide an internet connection.

Yes, there is a possibility that the KPN device is a 'router' (rather than simply a modem or Fiber Optical Network Terminator[ONT]).  If so, this would cause a "Double NAT" situation (internet search for more details), but that will affect specific applications.

It might be a good idea to do a Factory Reset on the RBR850 router before connecting.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? 
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. 

Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. 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.

I'm using the RBK50 (with 1 wireless satellite) with the KPN Box 12 in NL as follows:

• The KPN Box 12 as the modem/router with WiFi disabled (no you cannot set it in bridge mode)
• The RBK50 as an access point with a wired connection to the KPN Box 12. The RBK50 has WiFi enabled and the wired connection is in the yellow internet port.

As my devices connect wireless to the RBK50, but the KPN Box 12 assigns the IP addresses and provides internet (+ TV). On the RBK50 admin pages, I can see the devices connected wireless, where as on the KPN Box 12 they are shown wired.

That's all. I have this running for almost a year and it works fine.

Any progress on this?

Dear community,

I am located in The Netherlands.

I was so far an happy owner of an RBR850 mesh system ( 1 main device and 2 satallites) for more than 3 years.

My internet provider was ODIDO but I have freshly started with KPN and its associated modem.

For unknow reasons, I cannot get internet through my mesh system anymore.

I read / find complaints about KPN modems not offering the bridge mode and hence doing things in AP mode, but still i cannot get it through ( yes i have proper internet out of the KPN box).

 

Qould some be able to point me towards peoper instructions how to connect RBR850 to a KPN home set up?

Thank you all for the answers. I am still struggling with the set up. It was easier with the gears from ODIDO. I will give another attempt later this week. Thank you so much for all the advices
