Ap mode
I have my orbi in ap mode but the host device has no firewall capability. How can I get a firewall set up as the orbi in ap mode doesn't utilize a firewall
AP mode doesn't support firewall features.
If your host router doesn't have a built in firewall, then put the RBR back in router mode that has firewall features enabled, and use it in router mode. Just use the host routers DMZ for the IP address that the RBR gets from the host router to help avoid double NAT issues, all that's needed.
What is the brand and model# of the host router/modem?
There us a dmz tab. Do I put in the ip or just mark the tab? .I don't mean to sound like an idiot.i do appreciate your help.thank you

Not sure how to enable DMZ on that host router. Something to ask T-Mobile about. I presume if you check the box, would enabled it then you'll need to input an IP address there. This would be the IP address the RBR is getting from the host router.
- I have an orbi router in ap mode with my tmobile internet gateway5g.the host has no firewall capability. I have an ethernet cable connected to both. I also have an ethernet attached from the orbi to my desktop computer. Do I need to be concerned about not having a firewall on the the two devices or am I safe with the firewall on the computer
