Hope this the right forum.
Current setup:
Virgin Media M350 - in Modem mode
Orbi R50 router with 2 satellites (Orbi can run in either Router/AP Mode)
2 Netgear switches off the Orbi
Copper Landline
Planning to switch to BT / SKY 500 fibre optic broadband.
Need the phone so have to use the isp Broadband Hub. Neither isp hub provides modem only hub. So, have to run Orbi as Access Point mode otherwise might get double Nat.
My issues are:
1. If I switch off WiFi mode in the isp Hub and run Orbi in AP Mode, will Orbi still manage the ip addresses?
2. If I run Orbi in Router mode, will Double Nat be a major issue?
Any suggestions please?
