You need one unit in by the ONT, but if you have a second unit you could have it in the lounge and connect it via cable to the network cabinet

Thank you so much for your helping :)

Is that means I need to purchase another router (or maybe you have another ISP router) that can be used in cabinet to provide routing and wired Ethernet with wifi turned off and reinstate the Orbis in AP mode.

If I doing like that, will let my WIFI slower??

thank you :)

Do you have two ethernet ports where you currently have the router?

In the living room. If two AND they both go back to the cabinet, look at the diagram jonb posted above.

You will not need to buy anything new.

Correct - you don't need to buy a new router IF there are two ports in the living room that have wiring back to the cabinet.
