Just wondering if anyone has connected an orbi system to ee 900 broadband I know you have to change to pppoe on your router not sure if you need to do anything else  I would appreciate any help many thanks

@Bellboy13 : You just connect the 1st unit of the Mesh to a LAN port of the EE router.

You don't change the BB PPPoE Username on the router as it will already correct for running w/out the Mesh.

@Bellboy13  The Orbi RBR350  can be connected directly to the Openreach ONT, providing you do not subscribe to EE Digital Voice.

Setup if this is the case is simple, with the settings being available https://ee.co.uk/help/broadband/getting-started/using-and-configuring-a-third-party-router .

Otherwise, plugging it into a EE Hub Lan port and switching off the WiFi on the EE Hub will also work, the Orbi should self configure without worrying about PPOE settings. 

HTH.
