Only one router
Have 6220 modem-router-wi-fi (wi-fi disabled). Using Orbi system to distribute Wi-fi in house. Is there a way to disable D6220 router and use the more updated Orbi router? Everything updated to late...

Ok. Then you should be able to configure the D6220 as a modem-only,
and configure the PPPoE credentials on the Orbi router (whatever its
model number might be).> Since I updated entire Netgear system 3 days ago, all 6 pieces are up

Thanks for reply’s.
Yes, using dsl modem. PPPoE.
Since I updated entire Netgear system 3 days ago, all 6 pieces are up to date.
I already checked documentation and there is no listed method for disabling the router.
Looking forward to more input.
Thanks.

"up to date" tells me no more than "latest" did. Any (unfortunate)
