Orbi RBR20 and Linksys MX4200 Fibre modem
I currently have Fibre broadband using a Linksys MX4200 modem/router. Up until now (for 3 months), I have been running My Orbi RB20 mesh (RBR20 and two RBS20s) in AP mode with the Linksys wifi disabled (RBR20 and Linksys connected by ethernet). This has all worked perfectly for my needs, until I wanted to be able to access PLEX remotely. In order to do this, I need to set my Linksys to 'bridge' mode, and set my Orbi mesh to router mode (I think). Haven't succeeded in doing this yet.
Can anyone advise please?

Does Plex require ports to be forwarded through the router? Surely the Linksys router has that capability.
Yes it does, but I don't know how to do it.
It's on page 25 of the user manual:
Probably the same basic process as on the Orbi.
p.s. is the Linksys MX4200 yours, or something supplied by the Internet Service Provider (ISP)? (Mayb with a monthly charge?) For fiber service, there may not be a need for a router in addition to the RBK20 package.
