Robert,
Tell me more about this bridge mode? I have ATT fiber with the modem set up. The modem does have wireless as well. I was wondering if that was interfering? The ATT wireless is rock solid with no drops, but it does not reach the far corners of the house. Not entirely certain how to turn it off, or if I should.
The way I have it set up now:
ATT modem. Sits and does it's thing. Has 4 ports Ethernet on the back. One is used for Uvers signal. One is used for ADT wireless. One is used to connect to Orbi
Orbi Mesh: Gets it's signal from ATT Modem and creates it's own wireless system with its own name and passoword. It worked flawlessly for the RBK50 system. Until it didn't. The base station was fried and would not even power on. I set up the new system (RBK852) the same way. Does not work well at all.
Should I try to do it differently? By the way, setting up the new system sucked. Wouldn't be recognized by the iPhone app for the longest time, and fought with it every step of the way to get it set up. Maybe it is a lemon? Can't return it as it's out of return window. Maybe I should try to get it replaced by Netgear?
