Thanks but no changes in the provider or modem. There is no WiFi in the modem. All was working well until recently. It is strange that Ethernet cord from orbi hardwire to my computer dosent send signal either.

Try a factory reset on the RBR.
Swap LAN cables.
Same thing happens with a different PC?

Not even with a wired PC connected and a web browser pointed at 192.168.1.1?

So you are saying, you factory reset your Orbi RBR50, unplugged and plugged your ISP modem back in after a minute, plugged your Orbi into the ISP modem and powered it up, went to the app and performed an install, and you cannot see the Orbi to install it or it installs but has no WIFI? If it installs and has no WIFI, can you go to a wired PC and go to http://192.168.1.1 and log in?
