Orbi RBK 13 - Bridge or AP Mode
I have an AT&T router/modem. According to AT&T, to install the Netgear Orbi router, I have to turn off the WiFi in bridge mode in the AT&T gateway and install the Orbi in AP mode. The issue is ...
You'll need to check with the ISP to see if there modem is bridgable. Most ATT modems are not.
If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode thus keeping the VPN features you need.
As far as I can tell, I can disable it in User Network/Wifi Configuration which appears under the LAN tab. If not, your instructions are great as a workaround. thanks....
