I am looking to place the RBR853 mesh network behind a firewall, which will be doing NAT and routing outound (towards Internet - multiple uplinks) and inbound (looking to break out multiple VLANs via a switch to segent the inside home network).
In this scerario, I would prefer to eliminate the layer of NAT, routing, and DHCP service provided by the RBR853 base, and have these services provided by the firewall instead. I am aware that I can turn the Orbi system into AP-only mode, which would do this - BUT my question is, if I switch the Orbi system to AP-only mode, do I lose the mesh capability of the Orbi system?
