Thanks. That would be great. I am apprehensive concerning all this stuff as our internet access here works fine at present, even though it looks like I haven't set it up correctly. I am just wanting to get this Roon Arc app accessible remotely. I also want to get the Orbi working to it's best capabilities. I just thought after reading all the setup needed to placing the existing setup into bridge mode (, and all previous settings being wiped if I later disabled bridge mode), just hooking the Orbi up directly to the NBN modem may be the easiest option. If I ever needed the ISP's Modem /Router again, I could just plug it back in as it was before? I'm just not sure how complicated this direct hooking up orbi to NBN modem is.
