ORBI RBK50 as a VPN server in bridge mode?

I am commuting between 2 houses - House A main and House B transient

 

At house A: I have a TP like deco M9.  I also have a need for a blue iris camera server and a network videp recorder.  I also have an extra RBK50 router since was cheaper to purchase a set that individual routers.

 

I really like the easy configuration on the Orbi .

 

 

At house B: I have an orbi mesh system RBK50 mesh system).

 

So I would like to do the following:

 

House A:

 

1.  Add the extra Orbi RBK50 router as a bridge (connected to the deco satellite) and install OPEN VPN.

The idea is that I could connect to the Blue iris server attatched to the ORBI router from House B and watch house A.   The rest of wifi would be connected and used only in house A.

 

 

2  House B. I would like to install VPN on my Orbi router so that I can access my fire tv from house A and watch house B programming?

 

 

 

Any suggestions?    thanks in advance..

All RBRs only support router or AP mode. They don't support bridge mode.

Thank you.   Would the same configuration needs work using AP mode?

For AP mode, it would be as a pass through for any data. VPN would be setup on the main host router there. AP disables many features on the RBR for this mode.
