Orbi AXE11000 (960 Series) with Centurylink Fiber
Hi community, I'm considering purchasing the Orbi AXE11000 WiFi Mesh System (RBKE963B), and I was wondering if anybody has been able to set it up with CenturyLink fiber, which is a PPPoE service,...
The 9 series would be the same or similar configuration setup as the 8 series. Should work.
I think FarmerBob1 can help as I believe he's on CL and has a 8 series Orbi.
Contact the ISP if you need help and information regarding any ISP and PPPoE configurations.
Thank you for the input. Like I said, I already have all the information I need from the ISP, which I used to configure my Nighthawk over two years ago when I got the CenturyLink service. I agree with you, it "should" be the same as the 8 series, but knowing Netgear, I know how they like to ship things without being fully baked on the software side, and how they remove features that used to be standard, so that's why I'm looking for confirmation from someone who has done it on a 960, before I pull the trigger and spend $1500 on the system. Even some screenshots of the relevant pages on the Advanced Settings section of the UI would be helpful, since I do not have access to a working unit to be able to explore the interface.
I'm sure you have considered purchasing from a vendor who offers a liberal return policy, such as Amazon, BestBuy, or Costco.
I have, in fact, I would've bought it from Amazon, but I want the black edition, and Amazon only sells the white one. I love Amazon's return policy, take it to a Whole Foods and you're done! Costco doesn't have the 9 series, unfortunately, but they're also my go to since they usually have better pricing.
Actually, Costco does have the RBKE963 with two years of Pro support for $1,299, but only in white.
