If you don't have PiHole installed then it shouldn't be any issue with or with out VPN. I only have 1 user that uses VPN for work on the system at home. ALL others are non VPN and have access to full internet resources.
Has a factory reset been performed since the FW update to v44?
Have you powered OFF your ISP modem for 1 minuted then back on. Power OFF the RBR as well then back ON after the modem is re-synced with ISP services?
I'm using a C7800 in modem mode with the RBR 50 connected in router mode. Not using any custome DNS. Auto detecting what I get from my ISP. Cableone.

Have done all of your suggestions. Nothing works.
Perhaps there are special settings in the modem that I have not set correctly?

The modem you have is just a modem. There is no built in router and wifi so it's not a gateway router. I see it has been discontinued from the Mfr. IT's based on a older TM model modem. Those were not the greatest modems.
Do ou have phone service thru your ISP with this modem or just internet?
