So is the RAC2V1S connected in between the E31N2V1 modem and the Orbi RBR or is it just the E31N2V1 modem connected to the Orbi RBR? The later being preferred.
If the RAC2V1S is still in the middle, then this would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

Spectrum just came and changed the equipment. They gave me a router and a separate modem - 2 pieces. The E31N2V1 and the RAC2V1S. I have connection using the orbi, however, i can't get all sites. I keep getting a 404 error on many sites, like starbucks, teamsnap, etc. It will say the site is not secure.
Is there something i need to do, so that i can get to all websites?
Thank you
