I think this is the way to do it. Think;
Disable the WiFi on the router from my ISP. Yes, most people do this to prevent having multiplt WiFi systems competing with each other for radio time. It is OPTIONAL. i.e. there is certainly no harm in removing the ISP WiFi, and it 'may' refult in better performance, but it is not necessary.
Connect a cable from the ISP router toone of the Orbi's ethernet ports (not the internet port). To the Internet (WAN) port. Always
Press the reset button on the RBR 750. This is also optional.
On a PC that is connected (wired) to the ISP's router, try to find the Orbi and set it up as an access point or bridged mode. This is on the Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings, Router/AP Mode.
Have anyone here tried this? Yes, people do it all the time.
Thanks for the input - you guys are the best :)
