Which modem are you using?
What firmware is on there?
Are you setting it up as follows:
modem------->wan port on RBR20----------lan port------gs105.
have you tried any of the other ports?
Different cables?
- Modem provided by ISP - Arris CM 8200
Modem connected to “Internet” Port on router and switch to “Ethernet” port - only 2 ports
Have upgraded switch to GS305e today as support believes it may be an issue with VLAN but still having no luck - in q again now for support

1. A router with wan aggregation. Which the RBK23 kit isn't.
2. A ISP that allows more than 1 public IP address. The vast majority don't allow more than 1 public ip address.
So just to clarify, the switch is connected to the orbi and not to the modem, correct?
