Orbi router to CenturyLink
Double NAT issue. I want to fix by using centurylink as modem in transparent bridge mode. However when I change that in the settings I lose the internet.
I have a c2100t as well. I just configured the Orbi in AP mode and was up and running. So far this system is amazing!
That is the easiest way, but in AP mode I would lose to many features such as guest network
You can use the modems DMZ if you can't get the modem bridged. DMZ works for a 2ndary router...then you can use the Orbi routers features...
You can setup a guest network in AP mode. I have one running.
Thank you. Odd, this is what it reports:
The following router functions are not available if you choose access point or extender mode:
- Guest network
- Parental control
- QoS
- Access control
- Traffic meter
- Block sites
- Block sites
- Block services
- Static route

Like I said, guest network is available in Access Point mode. At least it is on my Orbi system. I've used it recently. Log into the Orbi web GUI and you will see it under Basic, Guest Network.
What are you looking at? What exactly is "reporting" this list?
I swear I set one up.... now you have me wondering. I will confirm this evening when I get home from work.
Yes, I have confirmed that I am running a guest network in AP mode. I erased several details, but you can see that it is running.
