I have to replace  my modem with a new unit. The modem is supplied by Windstream. How do I connect it to my orbi router. I assume all other connections will remain the same

Good. Hopefully that's all that's needed.


I would have the ISP help you disable all Wi-Fi radios on the ISP Modem since your going to be using the 850 series for your main Wi-Fi system. Having two Wi-Fi systems can cause interference problems.
