Access Point mode vs. Router mode
Different modes of operation are supported by your Netgear Orbi. You have the option of using it as an access point or as a router. The router mode is the most often used and is also the default operation mode.
If you already have a modem (standalone) from your internet service provider, this will be used. To assign IP addresses to all customers on the home network and route their traffic to the modem and then to the ISP, just connect your ISP’s modem to the Orbi router.
When you have access to a router gateway, such as your Wi-Fi modem/router combination, access point mode is used. The ISP must be connected to this router gateway, and your Orbi router must be connected behind your current router.
