Try a power OFF of the isp modem for 1 minute then back on. Factory reset the RBR and walk thru the setup wizard with a wired PC. See if it reconnects to the modem.
Yes you can.

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only 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-c
Firmware is V2.3.5.32. Modem is Alcatel Lucent I-240-WR. The thing is that my setup is been working fine for a couple of years, until the RBR40 simply stopped receiving Internet. The modem is a very simple modem and has no router function, and the RBR40 I believe has no modem function.
Do you know if I can use a new RBK40 with my current 3 satellites RBS20?
