The Main router is not connecting to the Internet Orbi RBK13

I have done everything I could, read instructions,  check on you tube .

There is wifi and internet available in the house,   but for the life of me I cannot get internet to the main router.

 

Blue Lights come on and then thats it,   no internet connection available.

 

Need Help

    How about some more info?

    Who is your ISP and what equipment did they provide?
    What is the current firmware on your Orbi device?
    What device is your Orbi router connected to?

      Thanks for trying to help

      Not sure how do I get those answers

       

      Who is your ISP and what equipment did they provide?   We have Hotwire/ Fusion Cable/Internet Provider.
      What is the current firmware on your Orbi device?  How Do I find that out ?
      What device is your Orbi router connected to?  Its connected to the Modem Router.

       

      Not sure if that can help you to guide me,  but Im pretty savy, and I usually dont have any problems connecting any new item I purchase.

      I followed all the instructions,  but it seems everytime i get to finis the set up,  the orbi app tells me there is no internet connection,

        you said there is WIFI and internet in the house. Have you rebooted the internet modem router before setup?
