Router Compatibility with ISP
I have fiber optic coming from my ISP which is connected to ISPs router(i.e. modem **bleep** router). I’m looking forward to configure the ISPs router in bridge mode and connect ISPs router to my rout...
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
https://kb.netgear.com/26765/Disabled-Features-on-the-Router-when-set-to-AP-ModeIF the ISP modem has a DMZ, try option #2 with the modem and RBR.

I'm from India and my ISP is Tata Sky Broadband. The modem **bleep** router by ISP is Nokia G-140W-F.

In my case I’m creating an extensive network in which I intend to use Orbi AX series Mesh WiFi System while in my country(India) Netgear directly sells Orbi AC series only.
Ensure you don't buy US/North America versions - these are locked to US FCC regulations (e.g. RBKxxx-100NAS, RBSxxx-100NAS). Devices intended to be sold e.g. in the European market (like RBKxxx-100EUS, RBS-100EUS) are worldwide AFAIK and should allow to be changed to your local wireless regulatory area.
