Re: MR100 won’t connect to my Orbi
I have a similar setup except that I connect my MR1100 to an ASUS router and my Deco mesh is connected to the ASUS router. I have bridging set to passthrough but left DHCP and timeout alone. Not sure why the timeout isn't a problem but it works and I'm not changing it. Maybe this info will get you pointed in the right direction. Note that my MR1100 is an AT&T branded unit.

Re: MR100 won’t connect to my Orbi
Do you have an ethernet-capable device you can connect to the MR1100 to figure out whether it is the output of the MR1100 or the settings of your Orbi as the problem? Like a desktop or laptop computer? If one of those would work with the MR1100 then it's likely to be the Orbi that needs to be reconfigured. I don't know exactly what that would be but at least you can narrow things down.
You could also try turning bridging mode off and see if that changes anything.
I assume you've connected a device to the MR1100 via wi-fi already to confirm that it is actually making a valid upstream connection?

Re: MR100 won’t connect to my Orbi
Thanks for your suggestion about placing a device downstream from the modem but before the router. When I did this I could get internet. I then hooked it back up to the orbi - no internet. I opened the settings on the orbi and where it was set to ppoe it had the box checked for "password required" (this was needed for my dsl modem - it was no longer needed for the cellular modem). I unchecked the box and everything worked. Thanks for your suggestion. I would have never looked at the orbi if you had not have suggested that.
