Orbi and netgear ac1750 r6350, verifying my config is correct

[vt15]

Hello,

I have an old Orbi with one remote station, and I added a netgear ac1750 to my network to extend the reach of my orbi and have some ports for wired connection of a desktop..  I have a device physically cabled to the orbi remote, so that orbi remote and orbi router did not change as the device has to be plugged in to my orbi remote.

I connected my provider's  modem to the Orbi yellow internet port, and I connected one of its 4 LAN ports to one of the 4 LAN ports on the netgear.

I can connect to the internet via wifi by connecting to either the orbi or the netgear.  I can also cable computers to the remaining 3 ports on the netgear, so all is good there.

However there are some problems.

1:  My wireless printer is not reachable - regardless of which wifi access point I am connecting it to.  the hp app says it is in the cloud vs on the LAN and has reduced functionality.  It shows on the orbi website as having a IP address in the 192.168 range.

2 I can connect to the orbi via a browser but cannot connect to the netgear via the browser or a mobile app.  the mobile app doesnt accept default credentials.  I have done a reset, and got in but when I tried to login as admin or reset the admin password to something new it failed saying "cannot connect to the network:.

3) the orbi shows the netgear as a connected device with 192.168.1.1

My questions are:

1) Is this the correct cabling for what I am trying to do.
2) Do I need to disable something on the netgear so it doesn't make 2 networks?  If so how do I connect to it.  I have tried by using my computer and switching off wifi and connecting it with a cable to the netgear but it also didn't work.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Is this AC1750 the R6350 in your subject. (Many devices come with the AC/AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.)

If so, is it in access point (AP) mode?

That is how to get rid of the double NAT issue that seems to be troubling you.
