It seems all the reboots and resets have helped.
Everything appears to be holding stable at the moment. Internet speeds are not where I hoped, but they are better then the slow DSL speed I'm hoping to replace.

Thank you ALL for the great help.

Once you get into a better modem system, the Orbi will work better.

There clearly seems to be a speed issue. Orbit was reporting 25.2 Mbps which is better than DSL 15 Mbps
but when I actual test streaming, like Netflix, I obviously am NOT getting enough speed to actual stream content. Something is wrong, but at least I seem to be getting a good connection between the modem and Orbi. Now I probably have a sim issue.

Maybe hitting a bandwidth speed limit issue for Netflx or any streaming.

This is a sim for a laptop. t-mobile says it is set up with unlimited data. Speed should be good. It is very possible the orbi is seeing this as a hotspot and that data speed could be limited. I’m just not sure
