I am having trouble being able to get my Verizon router to go into IP pass through
Where would I go if I don't have the radio button as stated in the user manual? I am having trouble being able to get my Verizon router to go into IP pass through and have the Orbi connect properly. ...
What Orbi model system do you have?
If 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. 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...You'll need to contact the ISP for help on any WAN side configurations needed on there equipment.
Sorry. I have the CBR750.
OK, is Verizon service you have Cable or Fiber? I've only seen Verizon support Fiber and if this is the case for you, them the CBR will not work for you as it's only supported on Cable ISP services, not Fiber.
For some reason my reply didn't go in this thread like I wanted it to.
I just got the Verizon 5G home internet (router using their cell towers). From what I have read on the Verizon forum, it can allow IP pass through to use your own equipment. But with me having the modem/router combo of the CBR750, perhaps this won't be possible. Sorry to confuse.
New equipment:
Verizon internet gatewayModell ARC-XCI55AX
Current equipment:
Orbi CBR750 with two satellites.All CBRs are cable modems first, that have a built in router with WIFI MESH features. These CBR modems are cable modems first and foremost, meaning that there main connection to an ISP is thru the RG6 coax cable connector you have in back of the CBR. This only connects to a Cable ISP service with coax cable running up to the house and to the back of the CBR. You can NOT connect this to any other ISP services, Fiber or cell service system or otherwise.
The only thing you can do is to configure the CBR for a faux AP mode then connect the CBR to the host router using one of the LAN ports in back and it will work in this configuration along with the RBS if you have any to connect.
