    Thanks. This looks to be just a modem (ONT) without any routing functionality so you should be fine to use Orbi as router.

    The issue of not being able to download images can then be just a throughput issue. Please check the following:

    - Can you please swap the cable between the ONT and Orbi to exclude any cable issues. May be you have done that already? ;)

    - Do you see the issue only with wireless device or also with wired devices?

    - What 2.4 GHz and 5GHz channels are you using? Please check this by logging in to orbilogin.com.

    - What wired devices do you have connected to Orbi's LAN ports? Do you have any wired speakers?

     

    Happy New Year to you too :)
