RBR50 and RBS40v AP mode

[JPBOLDY]

If I put my RBR50 in AP Mode to use a different router would the other satalite loose internet connection/functionality (RBS40v) with the RBR50 not in router mode.

New to mesh systems.

No, the satellite will connect to the RBR in AP mode.

Ok thanks

So from cable modem to primary router, then plug orbi rbr50 into a Lan port, (change the RBR50 into ap mode, and use the wireless network from primary router rather than orbi with it now in ap mode

[FURRYe38]

ALL wifi on the primary router needs to be disabled. You only need the wifi on the Orbi. 

[JPBOLDY]

I need a different router that will be mainly for WiFi, I need the orbi not to clash with it, unless it's possible to just keep it in router mode and change the WiFi channels they use.

But ideally I need this new router as primary for time being

[FURRYe38]

You can use the Orbi in router mode. 

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What Mfr and model# primary router are you using?

Why not replace the primary router with the Orbi router? 

Having two wifi sources in close proximity can be problematic. 

[JPBOLDY]

ISP is virginmedia using a superhub 3 which is in modem mode and rbr50 is primary router at the moment.

Want to change orbi primary for a Netgear WiFi 6 router hence needing to put orbi into ap mode

[FURRYe38]

Oh. 

Ok, well, in this case, AP mode would be preferred. If your using both wifi sources, AX and Orbi, you'll need to keep the AX router far apart from the Orbi base as much as possilble. 

For 2.4ghz between these two, set manual channel to 11 on one router and 1 on the Orbi. Same with 5Ghz, set Orbi to 36 and the AX router to 48 or higher, like 149 and above. Depending you may have triband AX router. Set each radio accordingly.

You can use two separate wifi sources, Orbi and whatever, side by side.

I have an R7800 and an Orbi network sitting close to each other. Never seen any problems.

I use different SSIDs.

[JPBOLDY]

Sounds a good idea that thanks for the help

[FURRYe38]

Let us know how it all works out for you after you set it up. 

Good Luck.
