    Ok.. so i have now connected my network as it was before i had my ORBI RBK853 system...

    The ISP modem(placed on 2nd floor) is connected to the cable which goes to the wired network (switch). ISP modems WLAN and DHCP is off.

    DHCP is running in the wired network on a mac because of IP reservations for some special WLAN devices...i cant do this in the IPS modem.

    The RBR is now connected to a switch in the wired network on 1st floor...same place where my old AP was connected...

    All is now working as ist should... and i am now free to place my RBR where it best fits...

    Tomorrow i will position and sync my 2 satellits ... one on the 2nd floor and one on the ground floor...

    Hopefully it works this way in the end...
