Rbr850 router losing conection with wired modem
I have a modem from kpn provider with a fiber glass connection ( daytek vigor2765ac) and a router with satelites from netgear orbi Rbr 850. After some time i lose conection with the internet. as...
daytek vigor2765ac
The Draytek Vigor2765ac looks like a DSL modem router.
Not sure what you mean by "fiber glass connection". DSL usually gets to customers over a copper cable. (Every Internet services has optical links somewhere on the network.) If you really do have an optical fibre for your Internet, then you should be able so use that with the Orbi router without a modem.
i put out the bridge modus allready in the netgear orbi
For the RBR850, there is no "bridge mode". That is something that you should do with the Draytek device. Maybe that what you mean.
i can't do that from the daytek that is not possible fro kpn site
I'm not sure what that means. What is the KPN site?
There are sites that explain how to put the Draytek into bridge mode. Start with the Draytek manual.
If that is not possible, then put the Orbi router into access point (AP) mode.
Just another user with time on their hands.
Hi Michael,
Thanks. for your comments.
Kpn in in the Netherlands is the provider and all providers supply there own modem.
That is how it is arrange in The Netherlands no other option on that.
on this Draytek the have a special socket for glassfiber entery .
So in The Netherlands i can't use the Orbi as a modem / without the draytek.
Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. 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.

Hey Furrye38,
1.is not possible is blocked in the Draytek by the provider
2.this i did already
3. i do not get that maybe getting lost in translation or a shortness of my knowledge/knowhow on this could you please explain it differently ?
If the ISP modem has a built in router and you can't disable the router and such on it, then you may need to configured the Orbi system for AP mode as the ISP modem/router are causing problems. You might ask the ISP for help on maybe getting the modem into modem only mode or setting up the DMZ or IP pass thru on the modem/router and disabling the wifi on it. Then you could use the Orbi system in router mode.
All this is being caused by the ISP modem/router.
