    Orbi - Do wifi devices switch to another satellite IF signal stays strong?

    ORBI with Fios - questions and problems

    Breaking out separate thread per moderator. Yes, you can use ORBI with FIOS, but you need to continue to use the Verizon provided router and put the ORBI router into Access Point mode using the Advanced tab - Advanced Setup - Router/AP Mode setting.
