7. Select the IP address setting:
• Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns an IP address to
this router while this router is in AP mode.
• Enable fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting if you want to
manually assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode. Using this option effectively
requires advanced network experience.
To avoid interference with other routers or gateways in your network, we recommend
that you use different WiFi settings on each router.You can also turn off the WiFi
radio on the other router or gateway and use the Orbi only for WiFi client access.
