New RBR20 - Affecting Ethernet in house?

Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?

Is your FIOS router bridged or in router mode? 

What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration if one is being used?

Is Daisy Chain enabled? If so, disable it on the RBR and check. 

Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Is there some reason that my new Orbi would interfere with my wired ethernet?

 

Background: I had decent connectivity in my house, with ethernet throughout, but with the demarc point (and FiOS router) in one corner of the house, WiFi was spotty on the far end. I had a TP-LINK access point on the that far end of the house, but that was dropping a lot, and so I sprung for the Orbi Mesh Router. 

 

This morning I set up the Orbi in the center of the house, and the satellite directly above it on the 2nd floor. For everybody's convenience, I gave it the same SSID as the FiOS router, and then turned off WiFi on the FiOS router. WiFi now seems to be working great at all corners. 

 

What's weird: the PCs connected via hard wired ethernet connections throughout the house all say "Unidentified Network: No Internet".

 

What's weirder: The Orbi itself is connected via ethernet through a switch to the FiOS router, so I know ethernet is working for the Orbi. 

 

I'm not a networking expert. What am I missing?
