Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Hello again!
I have some additional thoughts that I hope someone in the forum can give me some clarity on, I am going to replace my Orbi RBR350-router with an Orbi RBR750-router in a week or so and are not entirely sure about how to do it so what i wondering is if I can pre-install FW v4.6.14.3 (which I understand is the only FW that works on this combination) on my new RBR750 router right now and then install the same FW on the RBS350 satellites when I replace the router?
Another thing I'm wondering about is if I can convert my RBR350-router to a satellite when I start using the RBR750-router and if the RBR750-router also works as a modem? (The only information i find is that the model CBR750 can act as a modem and router at the same time).
Today I don't have a modem, my RBR350-router are directly connected to my incoming fiber socket, everything works as it should and I seem to be protected by WPA2_P but I now get a little unsure if my connection and my devices really are completely protected when I am connected to the router?

That would be recommended.

There is a built in firewall on all ng routers that works automatically to protect you.
Users can also check into a Armor subscription if you think you want more security.
