Fiber Modem and Orbi connectivity problem
Recently purchased the Netgear Orbi RBK753S High-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi System from Amazon. Cannot get it to work when connected directly via ethernet cable to my Adtran SDX 621 fiber mode...
My ISP did an update on their fiber modem ONT and the Netgear Orbi started working as it should after a restart.

Or, a call to the ISP tech support line. Surely you are not the first customer to want to remove the router.
What model of WiFi router did the ISP provide?
How is the WiFi function disabled (web interface or button on the case)?
