    I have the same Arris SB8200 modem and an RBR50 router directly connected to it. First make sure you have internet through the Arris SB8200. Next, a MUST, hold in the reset button for 45 to 60 seconds to restart the modem. Once completed, hook up the RBR50 router to one of the ports on the back of the SB8200. Turn on the router and use the app to setup that router. Once the router is connected, proceed to setting up the satellites, in the same room, one at a time. Once the satellites are setup you can move them to their locations and plug them back it. Note: if you purchased your Orbi RBK53 system used, factory reset the router and 2 satellites before installation.
