Thanks

Looks like that modem has wifi built in. IF that's the case and you want to run the Orbi you're going to need to set one of them to the AP (Access Point) mode. You can't run 2 routers in the same network as in router mode.
You may want to post your question in the Orbi AX section.

The modem does not have a bridge mode, so (originally) the wifi was turned off, only the orbi was plugged into the modem via ethernet and then set as the DMZ for that modem.
Do I have an Orbi AX?
