Can Netgear orbi work with Singnet ONR?

[hotsoup16]

Currently using default Airline 4920.and I am thinking of getting the netgear Orbi. Do 1 have to disable the DHCP in the Orbi in order for it to work with ONR?

THANKS

Netgear singapore has published an article for singtel users using ONT.

For ONR users, you need to setup the device to be in AP mode, not just deliberately disable DHCP.

Thanks. I am also using Asus Ac2400 coonected to the ONR by creating vlan. Presumely I can get the Orbi to work in the same manner too

Onr does not require vlan and I think you are running ont mode.

Singtel does have equipment that says ONR on the label sticker but in fact it’s being deployed as an ONT.

My ZTE GPON ONR is such an example. On the front it says “SingTel Optical Network Router” but in reality it is configured as ONT.

Mine Confirmed is a ONR. IT has DHCP AND CAN'T be disabled. Direct connect via WAN won't work with 3rd party router

Get a bunch of these

And you can set up a mesh network. No need to spend more on consumer level gear when u can buy enterprise gear for cheaper.

Which plan are you in? Is it SingTel 1+1 Gamer Plan? And your own router is connected to Port 4 of the ONR?

2GB plan. Yes my router is using one of the ports

I see. Then you have the ONR and supposedly you can just connect your own router (Asus or the Orbi) as AP and no need Vlan.

Edit to add: And as the pros here mentioned, you can look at the Ubiquity Unifi AC Lite AP x 2 at S$250 and supposedly cheaper and better than the consumer WiFi Mesh system like Orbi.

Ubiquity Unifi does not seem to have tech support...
