Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, LAN to LAN and configure AP mode on the Orbi router.

Thank your for the info. For starters, was told full bridge not possible, and furthermore ATT was of zero use/help- after several hours on phone. As for the other advise, sounds great but unfortunately all the other options/instructions are unfortunately over my head. Guess will see what ATT can do as far as checking system from there end and go from there.
