The CM series modem is just a modem only. You need a external wifi router connected to it to service your devices and such.

The CM doesn't have ANY router or WiFi.
They must have got them working on the Orbi system.
Try this: Turn OFF the RBS. Then the power output of the 5Ghz radio to 25% on the Orbi RBR router. Be sure that 20/40 MHz Coexistence enabled. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings. Then connect your mobile device at a distance from the RBR to ensure the mobile phone keeps connected to the 2.4Ghz radio. After you get the IoT device connected, re-configure the system back to where it was.
