Turn off IP passthru for AP mode.
- but no changes to the default firewall settings, right?
Use default firewall settings or recommended by the ISP.
- great thanks.
last question (i think), i connect the orbi ethernet to isp router. that is the only one. all others (xbox, tv, etc) would be connected to the orbi, right? Can be connected to the modem aswell.
- oh glad i asked! thanks for your help!
So more or less, AP Mode allows me to take advantage of Netgear's same high speeds and wider wi-fi range as Router Mode but without the side benefits such as the Orbi app and Netgear Armour?
Only Armor would not be avaialble. You can still use Orbi app.
Great! My mine concern is the wi-fi speed and range anyway. The others are just added benefits (that would be nice, especially Armour).

"Turn off IP passthru for AP mode." means OFF on the modem.
Thanks. We're up and running!
