Orbi rbr50
I got a new modem installed by spectrum. Hardwire to my computer it works great. But when I connect my orbi rbr50 back to it, my download speeds completely drop to the point I can't use my wifi for any devices that used to be connected prior to the new modem. The app speedtest says I have excellent speed but I can't given test through the actual wifi on my computer because its so slow. My version firmware is v2.7.3.22. I had no issues with my rnr or rbs until this new modem from Spectrum. Please help
What was the brand and model# of the prior modem?
Has a power OFF of the current ISP modem and the RBR for 1 minute then back ON been performed?
Be sure your using good quality LAN cables between the modem and RBR. CAT6 is recommended.
Try a different modem if the prior modem worked. Could be something wrong with this new one.

- JsharpmswAspirantI ended up doing a factory reset on the orbi and rebooted modem and it fixed the issue.
