Re: Does Orbi connect to Testra Gateway HFC

hi

 

sure as the telstra cable gateway is a router

 

so you have 2 options

 

ether find out how to bridge the cable modem ( this may be a problem if you use voip for home phone ) and connect the orbi router behind it in auto ip ( ipoe )  mode

 

or

 

leave the cable modem running as it is as connect the orbi behind it and run the orbi in ap mode

 

------------------------

 

btw do you have any structures ethernet cabling in your house

No Ethernet cablng throughout the hoise - unfortunately. So if I leave the cable running will it effect the stregth of the signal. My initial problem is 2 x concrete walls with steel mesh between the Telstra router and my office.

no wifi is going to cope with that not even the orbi

 

have you looked at power line adapters to get the signal to where its needed
