help..RBR750 lost connection to satellites

oh please help me..somebody with a brain that is working better then mine right now LOL. I am SO frustrated with this system right now. Last night, the connection between one satellite (That happens to have my tivo ) lost connection.

1. I pulled the power plug to reboot the satellite.. Still no connection. I thought I would be tricky so I switched out a second satellite (I have 4) rebooted and plugged in my Ethernet cable from the tivo.   Still no connection.

2. I rebooted my Orbi Router. Still no connection.

3. I unplugged my modem, my netgear nighthawk and my Orbi. waited..plugged..Modem then nighthawk then Orbi.Is coonected to the nighthawk which is connected to my modem.  Still nothing.

4. I re synced several times still no satellites found.

% Frustrates as hell I pulled the plug on everything and pressed the reset button on the orbi router and satellites.

5. Using the app I proceeded to setup everything but the app only finds the router still.

6. I have tried everything I can think of.

 

My netgear nighthawk is flashed so that is why my obi is connected to it instead of the second ethernet port on my arris modem.

HELP??

  • What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    Might need to factory reset the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch.

      Thank you for reaching out to me. I am at my wits end. Why does everything run smooth;y for months and then ..bam..

      Firmware v4.6.5.14

      My internet provider is comcast/xfinity and I am using my own modem/ Arris surfboard T25

      Connected by cable/coax

      I have tried a factory reset and the router is discovered but none of the satellites.

      At least I pressed the factory reset button on all of the devices. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.
