If so, you may need to persuade the Orbi to forget any bad habits it picked up from the old modem. When you first set it up, it will have looked for things like the Mac address of your old modem. But that information is no longer relevant.
Disconnect the Orbi, do a factory reset on it, and then go through the same setup process that you did when you first installed the RBR20.
If you visit the support pages:

you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

Thanks. That worked. After wasting 2 hours on the phone with Spectrum and then purchasing a useless Netgear support contract and spending 2.5 hours on the phone with 3 reps and getting nothing accomplished, I saw your post, tried it, and all is well. Thank You.
