My quick Web search didn't find much on the Plusnet Hub1, so it's not
obvious to me whether it has a modem-only ("bridge") mode. If not, or
if you can't find it, then, as previousy suggested, "configure the RBR50

Still true.

Hi, Thanks for your patience.
So I have an Orbi RBR50 and a telephone socket in my house and need a modem so I can use rthe Orbi.
My ISP are providing a Fibre service and have sent me their basic router modem that would get me on line, but I really need the Mesh network my Orbi provides for greater coverage.
I have attached pictures of the Plusnet Hub1 router modem they sent me and the ADSL filter which goes in the telephone socket with a cable to the DSL port.
When I try to search for a modem I get lots of router modems, so was hoping to find the best modem that supports supports dual-band Wi-Fi fast enough not to limit the Orbi

I don't know what speed your ISP promises, but I would expect a DSL
connection using any modem to be the bottleneck in your network.
I have bought a Draytek v166 modem so hope that works ok with My Orbi. So will have to wait to the end of the month when we move in to see
