Thanks.
Pic of Comcast modem attached. It goes to the Netgear switch (pic also attache if I've enough room). It's Cat 5 from the Netgear switch to the RBR.
The wiring has been the same for a few years. Not clear why there would be deterioration there. Is it the case if the Comcast modem is failing in its provision of ethernet that IT"S internet access via wifi would remain undiminished? When the Orbi goes pink, I can still use the Comcast wifi and connect to the internet. (The signal is too weak for most of the house, which is why I set up the Orbi network).

Got a picture of the back of that ISP modem?
What is the model# of the switch there?
Cabling should be going from the ISP modem to the the RBR, then connect any switches to the back of the RBR.
