Orbi RBR 850 and Australian NBN
Hi, this is my first post here. My question is can an Orbi RBR 850 connect directly to an Arris CM8200 Cable Modem? I'm in Australia, and my current setup is a NBN Arris Cable modem connected to my I...
Will take just a minute to find out, as long as the Orbi is in 'router' mode. My guess is, "certainly."
Would that just be a simple matter of attaching the ethernet connection directly to the Orbi from the NBN box. Is there a particular sequence to this procedure, eg, power down the orbi first etc? Do I need to change settings on the devices anywhere and at what stage? Sorry about all these questions .I don't want to create problems I can't fix if this doesn't work.🙂.
Generally, one would power off both the NBN box and the Orbi.
Connect the Ethernet cable.
Power up the NBN box and wait 2-3 minutes.
Power up the Orbi.
- Thanks for prompt reply. And if it doesn’t work ….power orbi and Nbn box down, reconnect all boxes as before, and then power up NBN box, wait 2 to 3 minutes, power up ISP modem/ router then power up orbi??
