Now TV Router

I have had an Orbi system for a few years, but recently changed broadband provider to Now TV. They supply their own modem/WiFi router. There seems to be some compatibility issue between the Orbi router and his new Now TV unit. Can anyone explain in simple terms how I can get the 2 units to talk to each other so that I can have WiFi throughout the house? 

Thanks

Re: Now TV Router

Easiest way? 

put the orbi in access point mode. 

you'd currently be in a double nat.

There's 3 ways to fix it but simply putting the orbi in ap mode is probably the easiest.

That leaves the now tv router/gateway controlling the routing functions and the orbi running wifi/ethernet.
