Orbi network -- IP address conflicts (AC2200/RBK33)
Hello, I have several devices in my home using the Orbi router in both wired and wireless connections. For most of the wired devices – Tivo, AppleTV, Mac desktop – I've switched them to static IP ad...
That might be your issue right there. The old device not running properly in modem only/bridge mode.What device specifically is it?
How have you setup the modem only mode?
It's an ARRIS modem, DG1670. I still have the old Wifi network active so that I can go in there and change the settings, but it's definitely in Bridge mode otherwise I would be getting a bunch of rando IP addresses in the wrong range. Unless there's some advanced setting I'm unaware of, just turninig odd the router fucntion/putting it in bridge mode should be sufficient, no?

1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only 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/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.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
