Rbk753s want satellites to connect to router only
Currently have the satellites connecting o each other (daisy chain) but i want them to connect to router only. Currently have wifi 6 RBR750 and 3 satellites (RBS750) thst keep connecting to each oth...
House is 5000 SQFt
satellites are 30-40 feet away.
Cable Modem is an Arris. Model - TG2492LG-LIB
What mode is the Arris modem working in? This has a built in router I beleive. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

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
