RBS50 as an extender for Altice Gateway modem.
Optimum has just ran fiber to my house and with it came their Altice Gateway modem. I have been getting "BRS_wanlan_conflict.html" errors on most sites I visit, and the Orbi app says I have no intern...
The RBS50 units don't have an extender mode. but you can put the primary orbi router (RBR50) in access point mode and then be able to use the router/satellites.

Optimum told me that disabling the wifi on their modem is currently "not supported".
I'll give the AP mode a try - thanks!
Even if you can't disable the wifi on the altice, you can still make sure to seperate out the channels the altice uses from the orbi to prevent interference.
How do I do that? :smileyhappy:
You can either look in the altice's wireless settings to find out what channels it is set on and then using different ones for the orbi.
Or you could download a wireless scan program (like acrylic, winfi, or inssider) and use those to determine which channels the altice is using.
