Glad you got it working. BE sure to check out the DMZ on the modem if it's in router mode and if the Orbi is in router mode as well. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Evening/morning.
many thanks to all who came up with suggestions. Here is what happened.
I decided to go for a full rest, even turned the Xfinity modem off, which then screwed it up completely and I spend an hour with the Xfinity helpline ( at least they have one) and they were able to “unclog , their terms” the system.
Once that was working I did a full reset of the Orbi and the 2 satellites, the Orbi website on this is actually very easy to follow.
Next, i re-paired modem and Orbi and the satellites , again it is easy to follow on their YouTube program.
Then i gave Orbi the same name and password as the old one as per helpful hints from the community as not to upset the Sonos speakers etc. Many thanks, it all worked.
Once all that was done, i tested the Orbi and it now works again. No idea what went wrong, but it works again which is the main thing.
so, thanks to all your tips, much appreciated, have a wonderful festive season and be well.
