Netgear Orbi AX6000 Mesh Wifi

[Tom1]

Does anyone know if the Bell Home Hub 4000 (giga hub) will work with the Netgear Orbi AX6000 Mesh wifi system? I have 3 wifi pods and the coverage throughout my home isnt that great. as an FYI, i have the gigabite fibe 3 package.

Hi there @Tom1. Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Bell Community.

Can you share more information regarding the coverage concerns in your home; i.e: slow speeds, devices disconnecting?

What types of devices are you using? Do you have a third party router set up?

Check out What are Whole Home Wi-Fi pods and how do I use them?to find some installation tips for getting best performance from your Wi-Fi pods.

Let the Community know how everything is going.

Hi :

Have the same question, does Bell modem support my Nergear  Orbi Mech router? 

 

[Tom1]

yes happy to say it does and no issues at all and easy to install (i am not very tech savvy).  Works MUCH better than the Bell pods I originally tried to use (went to 4 of them) before making the ORBI purchase

Hey Tom: thanks for taking time to respond to my question. 
did you have to make any configuration changes? How did you set it up?

[Tom1 · Accepted solution]

no configuration changes. the Orbi app is excellent. just have to connect the the orbi router directly to the Bell Gigahub with ethernet cable.  app takes you through the rest.

Hope my experience can help.

I have got a set of Netgear Orbi AX5400 Mesh Router (1 router + 1 satellite). I have set it up properly according to instructions (I had a call with Netgear support for more than one hour. He verified that my connection and setup are correct.) But the Orbi router has no internet. (I could see that the Bell Gigabit Fibe modem is working because its own ssid provides internet during the setup. The Bell modem connects by fiber.) Then the Netgear support asked me to call Bell Canada to reprovision the Bell modem so that the Netgear router can receive internet from the modem. What does the service support mean by 'reprovision'? Is there any ways to solve this connection problem?

Have you set up the orbi mesh system with access point mode? And how do you connect the orbi system to the bell Giga hub? That needs a ethernet cable connection for the best result. Orbi needs to turn off the DHCP, which will be turned off automatically by setting the AP mode. You should only use the HUB as the only one router for DHCP to assign IP address to the devices in the network.
