How to setup Orbi system with existing routers

[Pratyay6]

I have an existing home network with 4 routers, two netgear AC750s and two from another manufacturer. I have them connected with one AC750 as the master with DHCP turned on, and the others connected LAN-LAN with it. Now I want to include netgear orbis in my network. What is the most effective way to do it, without doing away with my existing routers ?

Hello Pratyay6

All you would need to do is plug orbi into one of the routers and then enable AP mode.

Hi Darren,

Would putting the Orbi in AP mode disable the DHCP or any other routing functions on the Orbi? Thanks!

Hello TraptPatriot

Yes it would then just be giving you the wireless functions and the Ethernet would be a switch basically.
