Had this system been linked to your comcast account prior or to this jkh.het account?
You'll need to factory reset the system and setup from scratch using the Orbi app to get it connected to the comcast account if that is needed. Save off a backup configuration on the RBR first, then setup using Orbi app and get it logged in, then reload the backup from file. Might work.
Or reach out to NG support. Not much we can do from forum with user account issues.

I've rebooted the system many, many times since that initial install. Very odd this would crop up after the recent reboot.
