ORBI AX4200
I have purchased the ORBI AX4200 wifi6 router/satellites.
I have spent numerous hours trying to get it to connect.
My original router is also the modem from my local provider.
I have had them turn the bridge on and off and no matter what we do the ORBI is never recognized as a wifi option.
Please help!

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?IF the modem has a built in router, This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
