RBR40 showing offline after I upgraded speed of internet

I'm going crazy - I was dumb enough to upgrade my internet with spectrum modem and now the Orbi says the cables are connected but no internet.  I have reset it, unplugged, can't find a n actual number to call orbi and I'm def a novice tech person.  I can't even get to the configuration page because you have to be connected to orbi wifi

  • Try this. 

    Power off both the modem and the router. Disconnect all cables from both. even coax from modem. let them sit a minute or 2. 

    then connect coax back to the modem. power it on. wait a few minutes for it to fully boot. 

    then connect lan cable from modem to wan port on router. 

    power the router on. give it a couple minutes. 

     

    What modem do you have? 

    what firmware is on your orbi?
