Orbi in Bridge mode - ports?
Hello - I have an Orbi with 2 satellites. I just purchased a hw firewall that is taking over the router duties, so I put the Orbi in Bridge mode. The LAN ports in the satellites don't seem to work in Bridge mode...is that expected?
thanks -

Re: Orbi in Bridge mode - ports?
You maybe looking for AP mode. Orbi doesn't actually have a bridge mode feature. AP mode is what it does support:

Re: Orbi in Bridge mode - ports?
OK...so it is AP mode...the core question is...are the LAN ports supposed to be inactive in that mode?

No. ALL Ports are active. You need to use the Yellow WAN port for the RBRs connection to the host router/firewall in AP mode as well.
