RBK752 work as router for Frontier FIOS 500/500?
If I purchase the new Orbi AX4200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (2-pack), model RBK752-100NAS, will I be able to use the router as the router for my Frontier FIOS instead of Frontier's? Any compatiblit...
Someting to ask the ISP about first. Some ISPs either require there own router to be used or special PPPoE account information to be used which if this is the case it maybe possible to input this into the RBR and use it has the main router. Again, please contact your ISP and let them know what your wanting to try.
Also you have other options with ISP owned routers:

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
