After new modem is online and working, Power cycle the modem OFF along with the RBR850 for 1 minute, connect the RBR to the new modem and power ON the modem.

Meaning good connection and internet service from the modem.

Let us know how it turns out.
I'm getting ready to do same thing. Put new modem online. 😁
Worked perfectly! Thanks to you it was a very easy setup.
Took Xfinity around 11 minutes to recognize the new modem and around 6 min for Orbi to connect.
830Mbps throughout the house now.
Thanks again,
