    Put my gateway in Bridge mode , and it fixed the local connection issue immediately with orbi app. Also seems to be running much faster.

    I can no longer reboot my modem remotely though as Xfi disables all their features when in Bridge mode but I think being able to remotely manage my router is more important than my modem.

    Thanks for everyone’s help

    Solution : Do better research originally haha and follow best practice of Orbi recommendations and XFINITY recommendations. Set ISP in Bridge mode and allow Orbi to handle NAT

    I feel like I have wasted 20 hours chasing my tail.

    Hey Furry38, do you know if there is a way to disable Netgear Armor from 192.168.1.1 Admin page on a computer, from Netgear.com or from Armor.netgear.com? I don't have access still and wondering if that is the probelm.

     

    I can always do a full factory reset again, and try disabling it, but don't have time to do that right now, my wife might kill me
