If you have not done so, try a factory reset and reconfigure the Orbi router

Seems like Orbi has lost the ability to connect to internet this morning.
I just got off a call with Xfinity, thinking that it was their issue. But turns out, they have been getting calls from customers with Netgear routers all morning, complaining about loosing internet.
For now I have switched to an older router from a different company and the internet is back on.
Not sure how and where to complain about Netgear issue.

Seems like it just came back online for me. Try yours, we might be back in business.

I can try but it's a real pain. I need to call Comcast back each time and ask them to unbridge the modem. Also, why would it stop working randomly overnight and why would a factory reset help? Did some setting get randomly corrupted? I've been having issues with the router for about 4 months now, required daily reboots for random 1 week stretches.
