BR500 + Orbi in AP mode

Our office decided to upgrade our network to all netgear equipment. We have an Orbi Pro for the wireless features and a BR500 for the VPN and routing. We set the Orbi to AP mode so we can use the pro satellites. After much rouble shooting it seems they just do like to coexist. When in AP mode, there is no internet and the BR500 becomes terribly slow. No ammount of tweaking the settings seems to make them function together. Any advice?

Hi moto_,

 

Welcome to our community! 🙂

 

You just need to make sure that adding the Orbi Pro to your current setup will not affect the BR500 as long as the Orbi is configured in AP mode. Please also make sure that the IP address should not conflict with each other.
