Orbi RBR20 won’t hold connection

We powered down the ORBI RBR 20 and ISP modem to reconfigure our office. Prior to this, it worked great. After restarting it, it repeatedly looses internet connection. I also downloaded a firmware update this morning, not sure if that helped or hurt.

I’ve rebooted the ISP modem and Orbi numerous times and it doesn’t fix it. Please help??

  • What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

    What the modem and RBR disconnected and reconnected during the office change?

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

        Id power OFF the modem again while doing the FW update and then power OFF the RBR as well. Then power ON the modem then RBR. 

        Enusre the lan cable is good between the modem and RBR. CAT6 is recommended. Make sure the plugs are seated well.
