Orbi LAN - Windows 10 PC will not recognize ORBI RBR50 through ethernet

Orbi wireless setup went smoothly and wireless is working great. However my Windows 10 PC will not accept hardwire/ethernet connection to Orbi. It calls the Orbi network "unidentified" and gives me message that "Local area connection does not have a valid IP configuration". I have rebooted all three devices, PC-Modem-Orbi a couple times and am on current firmware for Orbi and modem and latest version for Windows 10. The windows PC does connect wirelessly to Orbi but at about 1/3 speed compare to LAN (35 mb vs 100+)
