Orbi Router RBR850 "No Internet Connection"

I am beyond frustrated with trying to set up this Orbi again. I have had this for nearly a year now, and a storm knocked the power out briefly last night, and the Orbi hasn't worked correctly since. I have done factory resets on the Orbi as well as my modem, and no matter what I do, the Orbi tells me that there is no internet connection.  I have verified that I have an internet connection, and my modem is functioning correctly. I am have internet access when I connect my modem to my computer via an ethernet cable.  When I connect the Orbi to the modem with an ethernet cord, and attempt to set it up through the app, I get as far as "Orbi Network Detected - "check" Cables Connected - "x" checking internet connection. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

  • 1. what modem do you have? 

    2. what firmware is on the orbi? 

    3. you said you're setting up using the app? If you're on ios make sure the icloud relay and private mac/ip address are disabled. 

    4. have you tried setting up through the browser and not the app?
