I gave up and did the hardware reset in the end.
But I am concerned about why it happened, and whether it will happen again.... No one gave me a straight answer as to the cause.

That is often required when you make changes to your network.

You don't say what you mean by that. In particular what is this "another connection point".
When you install a modem and router they have to negotiate a connection depending in the local circumstances. If you move them to a different Internet source, then the hardware has o work out how to make that connection.
Not sure that I understand this bit.

Should there be some more punctuation in there?

The connection point was in the same house with the same internet provider, just a different location. That is when the "device not found" issue began. I put the modem and router back into the original connection point in the house and the problem persists. When I get several hours open to connect 6 satellites to the system I will do the factory reset.
Thank goodness I still have internet and the system is working fine, just no access to the router configuration screen from a PC or Orbi app.

Hopefully the FR should clear this all up. Something that maybe needed here.
I recommend using this process to do it:

Works well for me.
