RBK50 with DLink DSL2870B VDSL Modem/Router - how to turn off DLink router
Hi, I recently purchased an Orbi RBK50 system to improve the WIFI in my home, I originally set it up in AP mode and everything works well, however in this configuration I cannot use any of the Orbi ...

Yes, Looks good.
Ask your ISP for help and info on how to bridge modems or look up on D-Links support site or forum for help and info. Maybe in the user manual for the modem.

Unfortunately this solution did not work, It appeared ok at first, however, the D-Link began rebooting itself over and over every 10 mins or so until I removed the DMZ and placed Orbi back into AP mode.
I had given up for a while - but have a bit of time off work at the moment, so I've decided to revisit this, hopefully I can get it running this time.
The D-Link has a couple of options - bridge mode ( I emailed my ISP for help with settings but have yet to receive a reply, I just get a msg stating "no default route" when I attempt to use bridge mode), and also "PPPoE passthrough".
I was wondering if PPPoE passthrough might allow for the Modem/Router to function in modem only mode...anyone have any knowledge around this setting and whether it could help in this situation?
