RBK20
Hi, just have a question about setting up rbk20. I have an icotera i4850 router and want to use rbk20 with it. Do I have to switch off the wireless on my router for the best performance of rbk20 or doesn't it matter?

The Icotera has its own integrated router. It causes a double nat.

options? (only use 1)
1. put the icotera in modem only/passthrough mode. This disables its router/wifi
2. put the netgears IP addres into the icotera's DMZ. This leaves wifi working on the icotera. you can leave it enabled or disabled. but if enabled, make sure to seperate out the wireless channels between the icotera and the orbi so they don't interfere
3. put the netgear into ap mode. this leaves the icontera controlling routing functions but the orbi still works for wifi/ethernet. just make sure to seperate out the wifi's again if leaving it enabled on the icotera
