orbi 6 mesh wifi connecting to 2 modems
hello,can i set up 2 wifi6 orbi systems i same building,each has its own fibre modem,2 separate lines coming in.the owner insists on having one network for her work and one for guests.and just using ...
You can try the app, under Settings, not sure if you can change the mode there, if no, you can on the web page.
Any progress on this?
Hi,no not yet.im just rebuilding system after stripping everything down and getting rid of all the old wired waps etc and tommorow am going to connect orbi router (A) and 5 satellites to modem (A) and once working im going to connect orbi router (B) and 5 satellites to modem (B).and hopefully have no issues(LOL). just a thought but will both routers sync with all 10 satellites or will i have to keep them separate? ,5 sats for each router.i shall reveal all tomorrow once installed
Wow. Thats going to be interesting.
Well I would work with 1 system first, can get all the RBS connected to the 1st RBR. I recommend if these two systems are some what close, that you set 2.4Ghz to channel 1 and on the 2nd set RBR, set channel 11. Set 5Ghz to 40 on the 1st RBR and 48 on the 2nd RBR.
Hopefully you can get all the RBS connected to each system RBR. You might sync one RBS at a time near the RBR first wirelessly to make sure each RBS gets connected and synced well. Then once you get the 5 wirelessly since, power them off and put in there remote locations and wire connect them up to ethernet if thats your plan and turn them ON one at a time and make sure they get connected to the RBR correctly. If your ethernet connecting the RBS, follow this: https://kb.netgear.com/000051205/What-is-Ethernet-backhaul-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Orbi-WiFi-System 📡
No im not connecting any of the RBS by ethernet,all will be wirelessCcant start running cables in this villa,its a bit too upmarket for that($40mill) .so ill follow your advice to the letter and hopefully ........
