I have to say that there is some very dubious advice being spouted here. First a MESH WiFi is only ever going to provide any real benefit if you have 2 or more MESH devices. With only one device its really nothing more than a WAP. MESH works by transferring clients to the strongest available route. This may not be the nearest device as it may be too busy with other clients. Devices can operate in 3 Mesh modes MESH Root MESH Node Wired MESH Node Wireless
Second there have been numerous posts about SB devices not playing nicely with WiFi6 so steer clear. Can you send the Orbi back? I dont know the Orbi but I can say that the Draytek Vigor AP903 which is WiFi5 MESH device plays nicely with my SB devices. I have 2. One is a MESH Root the other is a wired MESH Node. I use a separate Router without WiFi (it could be a Router with the WiFi turned off) Above someone suggests switching off WiFI on T-Mobile, leaving DHCP on and plugging Orbi wan port to lan port on T-Mobile. This is double Nat. It will allow clients on Orbi to connect to clients on T-Mobile but not the other way round. The following is better. Turn off WiFi on T-Mobile. Leave DHCP on. Give Orbi a static IP address on its LAN that matches the T-Mobile network eg if T-Mobile is 192.168.1.1 make the Orbi 192.168.1.2 Turn DHCP off on Orbi. Plug Orbi to T-Mobile LAN port to LAN port. The T-Mobile becomes a non WiFi Router The Orbi becomes a network switch with WiFi You will then have 1 network range and clients connected to each router will see each other, VB2.4[/B] STORAGE *QNAP TS419P (NFS) [B]Living Room* Joggler & Pi4/Khadas -> Onkyo TXNR686 -> Celestion F20s *Office* Joggler & Pi3 -> Denon RCD N8 -> Celestion F10s *Dining Room* SB Boom *Kitchen* UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* Pi Zero+DAC ->ToppingTP21 ->AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV) & Bathroom* SB Touch ->Denon AVR ->Mordaunt Short M10s + Kef ceiling speakers *Guest Room* Joggler > Topping Amp -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes Everything controlled by iPeng & Material on iOS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114379
