Protectli vault and Orbi 850 compatibility
I have an Orbi 850 base and two 850 satellites. I also have a Netgear cable modem (CM1150V). I am about to purchase a Protectli FW6Br2 vault firewall. Protectli said there will be no issues with the modem, but that there will be some admin and configuration things I need to work through. I'm a novice from an IT perspective, so any advice would be appreciated. Am I being too ambitious?

Considering that the RBR850 includes a firewall, it would be helpful to know the reason for investing (time and money) to put the entire system behind a firewall, which has the effect of making a number of applications more difficult.

I am trying to use the best firewall possible, and my understanding is that a hardware firewall would be better than the firewall in the Orbi router. I understand I will have to disable the Orbi firewall.
You can't disable Orbi Firewall. Only way would be to configure Orbi for AP mode.
