RBK13 hooked to a Cox router
I have an Orbi RBK13 hooked to the router provided to us by Cox.
I'm noticing that I still have devices hooking up to the cox router and not the orbi's.
Do I need to shut off the wifi on the Cox router?
TIA

Re: RBK13 hooked to a Cox router
Is it a modem/router combo device or just a router?
If its a modem/router combo device, I'd recommend disabling the router part entirely. (hint, disabling wifi doesn't disable the router portion) Contact the ISP for help with that.
Otherwise you'd be in a double nat.

What actual cox devices do you have (model numbers)?

Most people would choose to have only a single WiFi system competing for bandwidth and channel availability.
So, yes, this forum always recommends disabling the ISP WiFi capability.

Re: RBK13 hooked to a Cox router
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
