Are you asking if it can?

If so, yes you can. It can cause a double nat with 2 routers running in router mode. But there's ways around that.

Yes but not generally recommended. You can do double NAT if you use the host routers DMZ. 

Or configure the Orbi base router for AP mode, leaving the host router has your main router and disable the main routers wifi radios.

Yes.

So the Huwei is a LTE cell phone wifi router? 

If this router has a DMZ, please use this feature if you use the RBR in router mode. If not, then you'll need to configure the RBR for AP mode.

Yes HUWAEI is a LTE cell phone wifi router.
This router is having DMZ.
If I enable that . Then I can normally connect the huwai router and AX 6000 WiFi router through LAN
Please find the back side of the router ( photo attached).

Please guide . If it is compatible , I will buy.

Further to my below reply, please correct me if am wrong

 

  1. Connecting the Ethernet Cable to AX6000 Wifi router and Huwaei CPE Cellphone wifi router.
  2. Then configure the  AX6000 Wifi router to act as an access point.
  3. Then i can add all the satellites to the access point.

 

This is the way i have to go.

Yes use the DMZ on the cell phone router for the RBR then you can use the RBR in router mode.

Thanks for your reply.
Once ports are forwarded after enabling DMZ in cell phone router . Then Ax6000wifi will be in router mode.
After that one router only active that is AX6000 WiFi
My cellphone router will be forwarding the ports to AX6000wifi.
Please correct me I f iam wrong

No port forwarding should be needed if you use the DMZ on the ISP modem for the Orbi RBR. However onces the DMZ is configured for the RBR, it your phone should connect well and get internet services thru the RBR and out thru the ISP modem.
