I'm hoping it proves simple enough, and that simply using the existing lines from the ont will do the trick, seeing my devices are all too old to download the Orbi app, lol. And seeing this entire flat is less than 30 sq m I'm hoping it covers...
Setting up is "almost" idiot proof -- plug in power and turn on - Plug the ONT ethernet cable into the WAN / Internet port on the Orbi ( theres 1 Blue WAN/internet port and 3 yellow Ethernet) -- Go make a cuppa ( takes a few minutes to setup by its self) and its done. ( thats how I setup 1)
You don't actually need the App, if you have a wireless device just scan for the orbi Name and manually enter the Password as its written on the Router. logging into the Orbi ( via a Computer) was "fun" on one of them, but do-able. The other 4 customers - I left settings as is.
One thing That they are good at is if you have a few of them, connecting in a Mesh setup, once the main one is plugged in and working the others auto switch to mesh mode and connect. Like any other router they dont like walls and lower the signal down.
