Any help would be appreciated.

- You don’t need to reinstall Orbi when you change ISP.
The internet configuration will be automatically updated once you connect the new modem. You can also force an update by going to Internet settings in the web GUI under ADVANCED >> Setup >> Internet and clicking on “Test”.
If you have Orbi in Router Mode, then just make sure that the new modem will be a “plain” modem and will not have any routing capabilities. Power OFF The RBR first. Connect up to new modem. Power On the modem first and let it sync. Power ON the RBR. Hopefully you should see a BLUE ring LED at the top then go out. Means its working.
