Interesting. Seems that with at least this ISP Modem, there seems to be something going on with this configuration as that normally would not work.

Yes, I'm not sure why this is working now. I don't think it makes a difference which port you use on the satellite when using wired backhaul. It might have been the shutting down the Orbi router, connecting the Orbi Internet port to the XB7, and then turning the Orbi router back on. This was all done with the Orbi satellite still on and connected to hard wired other than the temporarily disconnect to move the cable connecting to the XB7 to the left most port. Still doesn't make a lot of sense though.
Thanks again, and I will post later with results either way.
