Power OFF both RBR and CM for 1 minute. Be sure you are connected to the #1 LAN port on the CM modem. Not any of the other ports. Those ports are meant for other ISP services. Or if you have a ling aggregation router which the Orbi doesn't support. Just connect the RBRs yellow LAN port to LAN Port #1 on the CM modem. Power ON the CM modem and let it sync. Be sure your CM modem was associated with the ISP services as well.
Power ON the RBR router. The top ring LED should blink WHITE, the maybe slow plusate WHITE, then turn BLUE, then it will turn OFF.
Test with a wired PC connected to the RBR. Get internet here? IF not, try a factory reset with the RBR. PRess the reset button for 15 seconds then let go. Walk thru the setup wizard with the wired PC.

Furry( or any help :) )...I sure could use your help....I am getting the dreaded pulsing white light on router. I have been running fine for a year after my original install (ORBI router and 2 satelites) my configurations is basic and took all of 20 minutes. I just unplugged router from power and internet(fiber modem) to move wires and now cannot get away from (sounds like looping booting - blink white light) I can direct connect to modem but can't direct connect to RBR for access. I have read about this being a firmware issue but since I can't even get to RBR unsure how that helps? obviously I am days past year warranty and not real advanced in this part of digital world and am looking for easier step by step answers. I have done all the factory resets the recycle modem and RBR to no avail...hate to have to junk this as brick when just hours ago it worked so well. THANKS in advance!
