Not sure what you are referring to when you say wanlan conflict?
However here is the definition of 401 error code:
The 401 Unauthorized Error is an HTTP response status code indicating that the request sent by the client (YOU) could not be authenticated.
A 401 Unauthorized Error indicates that the requested resource (THEM) is restricted and requires authentication (PASSWORD or certificate), but the client failed to provide any such authentication.
Does this happen on all websites? And you have or do not have internet access?
Can you plug a PC or laptop directly into the Spectrum modem and see if you have internet access? Apologies if I asked these questions already, too lazy to read back through thread.

Losing my mind trying to work from home and kids start virtual school next week ... Any thoughts?
Is this a new install?
How is your Orbi connected to the Spectrum router?
Or did you bypass the Spectrum router and connect directly to the Spectrum modem?
- We are connected directly to the Spectrum modem ... Bypassed... Want to point out that a Spectrum tech connected the Orbi and said we did not need their router.

Reboot the Spectrum modem and see if it corrects the error. If not reboot the Orbi system.
If that fails, you may have to reset the Orbi and reinstall.
- I rebooted the ORBI and the Modem without luck... So then I reinstalled the ORBI... Now the modem has a signal and the ORBI is online, but the same error is present
