Not a very detailed description of that device. Has it a maker and
model number? What did it replace? To what is it connected?

Not all of your readers are certain to have heard of Rogers Ignite TV
service.

What, exactly, is connected to what, exactly? (Hint: If a device has
different types of Ethernet ports, then "connected to device" is not
enough detail.)
Cascading multiple routers can cause multiple problems. If your "a
new router" can be configured as a modem only ("bridge"), or eliminated
entirely, then using the RBR20 as your only router might work better.
Alternatively, configuring the RBR20 as a wireless access point
instead of as a full-function router (leaving your (unspecified) "a new
router" as your only router) might help.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Use the
router as a WiFi access point".
