What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Press the reset button on the back of the RBR for 15 seconds then release.
Use a wired PC connected to the RBR and a web browser and see if you can access 192.168.1.1. Walk thru the setup wizard here if you can.

Untied TFTP using terminal on Mac but reset button needs to turn amber per instructions but it doesn’t. What do I do? Orbi triband wifi system/Comcast internet/modem surfboard sb190

Try using a windows 7 PC?
I had problems using a Windows 10 PC then switched to Windows 7 and it worked. You maybe seeing same issue on Mac.
What OSX version are you using?
If nothing works, then the RBR maybe bad. :smileyfrustrated:
