Changing ISP -Orbi RBS50 - Internet is connected, but Orbi is not detecting internet

Hello, 

 

We have moved homes and switched ISPs, Our internet is up and running and my Desktop PC plugs in directly to the modem and is working correctly. 

 

We moved from AT&T with an AT&T provided modem that had wifi, we utilized the Orbi's wifi instead and it worked just fine.

 

We are now with cox communications and our router is a non-wifi router. We are planning to connect our Orbis around the house via hard line, and have wifi from each satellite.

 

Do I need to change a setting within our orbi to reflect this new configuation?   I have tried unplugging everything in every step immagineable, but it still says internet cannot be found.

 

Thank you

  • Whenever you change ISP's, its always good to start back at stock. 

    I'd start with factory resetting the router. (Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on). 

    then follow the install guide for it. 

     

    What modem do you have from cox? 

    Did cox provision it?

      We decided to go against the router / wifi combo from Cox. We went with a arris surfboard - with no wifi capabilities.

       

      The plan has been to utilize the Orbi all wifi capabilities.
