Ok, should be same process for RBR in the mix. I would do same and then factory reset the RBR and use a wired PC connected to the RBR with a web browser pointed at 192.168.1.1 and walk thru the setup this way.

I would take the RBR to a friend, neighbor or family members place and see if the RBR will connect at a different location with a different modem. Even you can connect it up to different host router and see if you can get the RBR to connect. If the problem follows then I would presume the RBR is faulty and needs replacing. If not, then there is a problem with the cable between the modem or the modem.
