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 latest firmware.
Thanks.

   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).

   "up to date" tells me no more than "latest" did.  Any (unfortunate)
future readers will find it even less helpful.

   Which "documentation"?  When I looked at the D6220 User Manual, I
(easily) found the section whose heading I quoted above.

   Connected to what?  Are you using its DSL modem?  PPPoA or PPPoE?

   It depends, but you might visit http://netgear.com/support , put in
your model number, and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.
Look for "Use the Modem Router as a DSL Modem Only".

   As always, actual version numbers would be more useful than your
opinion of what's "latest" today.

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.
