Configure D6400 to an Orbi Mesh Network

How do you configure the D6400 to support a mesh network like Orbi or Google? I spent 5 hours over the course of 2 days troubleshooting with Netgear and they thought it was a hardware issue with the Orbi.  I purchased the Google units and experienced the same thing.  It seems like there's an internet connectivity conflict between the D6400 and the mesh routers.  I'm using Centurylink DSL if that helps.

Use your browser to get to to the modem/router's controls:

  • Advanced
  • Advanced Setup
  • Device Mode
  • Change to modem only
