Orbi RBR 50 no internet connection

My orbi worked find till yesterday, and todat just it died with no reason.

I can connect the internet through the modem to pc directly, but If I plug the cable modem to orbi and to pc then no signal.

Thank god I have spare old router to use for now and still works as a router.

Do you guys think my orbi died? or Is there any way to fix it? It's been over 17 months using this orbi, so warranty is expired.

Is orbi usually dead after a year of use? it seems since warranty is only one year.

    What FW is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

    Have you tried a factory reset on the Orbi router then walk thru the setup wizard? 

    Can you still access the routers web page? 

    Is the top LED giving any color indication?

      It's v2.2.1.210

      I'm using Arris SB6183 modem with xfinity.

      I have clicked reset button twice and giving me steady white color LED. If I do the troubleshoot on window, it keeps blinking white. No purple.

      I have not tried to go into routers webpage. shoud I?
