Trying to connect chromecast to RBK50
So I have a RBK50 and I’m trying to connect to my chromecast. On my network it just gives me the error cannot connect to my network. I tried creating a guest network, and I managed to actually connect...

It’s an actiontec t3000m or something, my isp did something on their end and reset their routers option which turned off the bridged mode and then I was double NAT, do you think that could be the issue? Do you know if there’s a way to access my routers admin page if I don’t have an Ethernet connection? New laptops don’t seem to have Ethernet ports:(

Yes, if they disabled brige mode on the modem, this would be one cause of your problems. Needs to be in bridge mode if at all possible. The RBR is already a router which doesn't need another one in front of it.

A lot of people find that rather than "bridging" the first router it easier to put an Orbi router into wireless access point (AP) mode.
