CBR750 has become a nightmare! Job at risk! Please help
I just recently moved and have my Orbi CBR750 set up straight from the wall with my coax cable attached to the Orbi is a Netgear Wax206 Access Point (I use for a separate network for my work computer)...

Make sure if you have two wifi systems running, that you use far apart channels for 2.4 and 5Ghz. Set the CBR to channels 1 and 40 an the WAX to 11 and 48 or higher.
Make sure the WAX is set far apart from the CBR distance wise. 30 feet for more.
Some of the CBR line channel power is a bit too high as well:

You gotta get those Correctables and Un-Correctables down to zero.
What FW version are you using on the CBR?

Cable company blames Netgear, Netgear blames cable company and it's just back and forth everybody pointing the fingers nobody comes up with a solution meanwhile my job is on the line. This has to get fixed and I refuse to believe I just wasted $600 on a modem/router. I will attach all the pics I have collected off the admin page. Oh btw I was using the same VPN and computer at my last house with no problems. PLEASE HELP tell me what you need and I will respond.
