orbi access point mode change
HI guys, I just bought the 3 piece mesh set up. I need to make the modem enter access point mode as I need to retain the original IINET TP Link modem to get the system to work. Any ideas?

Please confirm the Orbi model your using. Is it the Orbi 350 series?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
Of you need the Orbi in AP mode, review this:
