Orbi as router Mode

Setting up the Orbi login as router mode is the most popular model because it is the default mode for all the Orbi routers. You require this mode when the users have a standalone modem from their internet service provider. And then we want to connect the router’s internet port to the modem. In this setup, your Orbi WIFI mesh router will work on the router mode and assign the default IP address to other wireless clients. It moulds the traffic to the modem, then to the ISP, and then from ISP to the Internet.

Orbi as Access Point Mode

You can use the Orbi access point when you already have the gateway device of the router, including a modem and a router. Connect these devices to your internet service provider. In your home, if you already have a modem gateway device connected to your router and the capabilities, the LAN port of your existing gateway should be connected to the Orbi Internet port. After that, you can disable the Wi-Fi functions from the current gateway of the router. And then set the Orbi as an Access Point Mode.
