Hi, Patty... You have the option of turning off the WiFi signal in your current combo device and replacing it with the Orbi signal, or running the Orbi alongside it in Access Point mode. Instructions for AP mode begin on page 72 of the User Manual: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rbk50.aspx?cid=wmt_netgear_organic#docs The User Manual for the C6300 can be found here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/c6300.aspx#docs -NetgearTeam
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey Patty! The Orbi is an amazing router for the price, but you are also going to need a modem to run with it. Your router only provides the home with a wireless connection. Once you plug the Orbi into the modem you can follow the step by step instructions provided in the box that will help you locate the router from your computer and go through the process or renaming it and assigning it a password. I really hope this answered your question, have a great day!
