T3200 and orbi set up recommendations
 

Hi

I have pure fibre ONT -> T3200 and I want to add a Netgear Orbi mesh due to really bad wifi connectivity in the house.

I have been through many threads with different recommendations about using the T3200 in Bridge mode or not. Below are some options and I am trying to figure out the best one to try

1. put a switch after the ONT and pug the T3200 and Orbi into the switch ( router and Orbi in parallel). Connect the Optik to the T3200, everything else to the Orbi.

2. ONT to the T3200 and plug the Orbi into the T3200 port 1 and use the other T3200 ports for the Optik

3. ONT to the T3200 and plug the Orbi into the T3200 port 1 and use the other T3200 ports for the Optik AND set the T3200 to bridge mode

Can I turn off the T3200 wifi radio on any of the above?

Is there a better setup?
