    Power OFF the XR router for 15 seconds the back on.

     

    Brand and model# of new ISP modem? 

    BE sure to use good quality LAN cable. CAT6 is recommended.

      If I'm correct the brand is spectrum and the model number is ET2251.

        Thats a Hitron brand. 

         

        Does the Internet LED on the XR router AMBER? 

        Power a power cycle or reboot of the XR router, the internet LED should change from AMBER to WHITE...
