Re: Orbi RBK 50 AC3000

If you have an existing router that you are happy with (eg a Verizon FIOS Actiontec) then the typical arrangement is to disable the wifi on the ISP router, set up the Orbi router in Access Point (AP) mode, extend the Orbi reach with the satellite and let the Orbi network handle the wifi with whatever SSID you choose. Let the ISP router continue with its roles as router and DHCP server.
