Thanks! A have actually kept for now my AT&T Arris gateway in router mode and the Orbi AX in AP mode. The setup took me 15 minutes with zero glitch and it work great.

I would do a back up configuration to file on the RBR before going to router mode. Helps save time if you want to revert back or a reset is needed.
Let us know how it goes.
