What happens if you disconnect the RBR from the ISP modem and direct wire 1 wired PC to the ISP modem and naviage to that web site?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?

I am having an issue connecting to a certain website I use for work. The website is https://polestarapp.com/admin/login
When every I use my home Orbi network to connect to this site it will say "polestarapp.com took too long to respond and will time out" and will not connect. I then tried to use the diagnostic tool and it says it maybe a port 443 error due to security or firewall settings but who knows. This seems to be the only site I cant connect to. I am just not sure what to do anymore and desperately need to get on this site for work as I work from home.
The funny thing is that my old router from Spectrum (my ISP) worked great connecting to this site with no issues. I can also connect to the site with my phone's hotspot however its not fast enough to run it smooth. I have to literally use my old router which has terrible range in my home of 3800 SQFT and constantly disconnects. The whole reason I upgraded to the Orbi system was to cover my home with flawless wifi. The Orbi honestly works great except for this one issue was is huge. If i cant use it for work its worthless to me and my family.
Here is my system specs and equipment:
ISP: Spectrum with 400MBPS Ultra internet
My current modem is a DOCSIS 3.1 Modem / Voice Equipment
Manufacturer
Spectrum (ubee)
Model
E31U2V1
My old router was:
Manufacturer
Sagemcom
Model
F@st 5260
My Orbi is a RBR50 Router with 2xRBS50 Satellites
Hope someone can help!

Yes it will work from single wire or even the previous router from ISP company.
No I have done a hard factory reset. I really dont like that idea unless it's my last resort. It would suck to reconnect every single device in my home again.
