Netgear Orbi RBK752 and Nighthawk R9000
Hi there, I hope I get an answer to this one. Due to some “dead spots” in our current house, I ended up over the years with 3 WIFI routers to ensure proper coverage and signal strengths. That...
Could use the R9000 as the host router, wifi enabled or disabled. Then using a SFP to ethernet adapter in the SFP port on the R9000, connect the Orbi system either in router or AP mode to this SFP adapter.
If you use the Orbi in router mode, put the IP address the Orbi gets from the R9000 into the R9000s DMZ.
One could use the R9000 with a 10Gb SFP to ethernet adapter if there ISP modem was multigig supporting and use the R9000 to get higher WAN speeds using the SFP port.

That is a bit beyond my expertise. Would I gain any advantage by using an SFP and hooking up the Orbi to that? If I connect the Orbi in AP mode, do I lose some functionality I would have if the Orbi ran in router mode?
