My computer is only functional with an ethernet connection from the modem.

What's the connection rate show on the Connection Status for the WAN port on the RBRs web page under Advanced Tab?
What is the CAT# LAN cable between the modem and RBR? CAT6 is recommended.
Also, be aware that the SB6190 has a vulnerability and is not recommended.

Thanks for your follow-up. Earlier this morning, I called Netgear Tech support and they were able to resolve the issue for me.
I wasn't aware that the SB6190 had a vulnerability. Thanks for sharing that information. I'll look at replacing it in the near future.
